Why This Recipe Is So Delicious

Perfect for warm days when you want something flavorful and easy to prepare. The smoky char from the grill adds a delicious depth to the juicy chicken. It’s a crowd-pleaser that brings people together outdoors.

Kitchen Tricks

- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; chicken is safe at 165°F (75°C).

Step 1

Heat your grill to medium-high, or if you’re using the oven, preheat it to 450 degrees F. Place two chicken breasts in the center of a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Spoon some barbecue sauce over each chicken breast, then pile on a handful of your favorite veggies. Fold up the sides of the foil, then double-fold the top and ends to seal everything in, making sure there’s a little space inside for the heat to circulate. Repeat this to make a second packet.

Step 2

If you’re grilling, pop the packets on the grill with the lid closed and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes. For the oven, place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The chicken is done when it reaches 170 degrees F on a meat thermometer.

Step 3

When it’s time to eat, carefully open the foil packets—watch out for the steam—and enjoy your juicy, flavorful chicken and veggies!

Serving Combinations

Serve with a fresh garden salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal. Corn on the cob or a side of garlic bread also pairs nicely. Add a squeeze of lemon or your favorite BBQ sauce for extra zest.

Storing Food Safely

Let the chicken cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the meat.
