Description
Tender, juicy chicken cooked with colorful vegetables and savory seasonings, all wrapped in foil and grilled to perfection. This easy, no-mess meal is perfect for busy weeknights or summer cookouts.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups small potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
1 cup baby carrots
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12×18 inches each.
- In a bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and red onion with olive oil, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet, then divide the seasoned vegetables evenly around the chicken.
- Fold the foil over everything and seal the edges tightly to create packets.
- Grill the packets for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam) and garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
Notes
Substitute zucchini or cherry tomatoes for other vegetables.
Add chipotle powder or smoked paprika for a smoky kick.
Use boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
Top with a slice of lemon for added citrus flavor.
Packets can be baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes.
