• Divide equally and arrange vegetables around each chicken breast; season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle chicken and vegetables with little olive oil.
• Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken, covering completely; seal the packets closed.
• Transfer foil packets to the preheated grill rack and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until done, turning once.
• Chicken is done when thermometer reads 165 F.
• Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes.
• Serve.

BARBECUE CHICKEN FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high heat.
• Prepare foil packets. Lay out 4 large pieces of heavy duty foil then top each with a large piece of parchment paper (or spray with non stick spray).
• Place equal amounts of sliced potatoes and onions in the middle of each packet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt and pepper.
• Place a chicken breast on top of potatoes. Brush each side of each chicken breast with barbecue sauce.
• Wrap up each foil packet by bringing two sides together and rolling it up. Then roll up each open end to seal the packet.
• Place on hot grill and cook (potatoes down) for about 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through (chicken should be 165°F).
• Cut open packet, brush chicken with more barbecue sauce if desired and top with cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Place back on grill (do not reseal) to melt about 5 minutes.
• Garnish with sour cream and chives.

GRILLED PARMESAN-RANCH CHICKEN FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with garlic-herb blend; place 1 breast on each sheet of foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the dressing over each breast.
• In medium bowl, place remaining 1/4 cup dressing. Stir in potatoes, carrots and green beans. Divide vegetables among chicken breasts. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 25 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 15 to 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are fork-tender and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (165°F).
• To serve, cut large X across top of each pack; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.
• To make in oven, place packs on cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).

BBQ CHICKEN POUCHES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray 4 sheets aluminum foil with cooking spray.
• Center 1 chicken breast on each prepared aluminum foil sheet and top each chicken breast with 1/4 cup barbeque sauce. Layer corn and green bell pepper over barbeque sauce layer. Fold the sides of each aluminum foil piece over the top of each chicken breast mixture, double-folding the top and ends to form a seal on each 'pouch'. Leave enough space inside each pouch for circulation. Arrange pouches on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 18 to 29 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Open one end of pouch first to let the steam out before opening top.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND POTATO FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Stir together the vegetable oil, cider vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, basil, and thyme in a bowl; set aside.
• Lay out 4 12x12 inch squares of aluminum foil. Place 1 chicken breast in the center of each square, top with potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Ladle 1/4 of the sauce on each and fold the foil around the ingredients to form four sealed packets.
• Grill the packets on the preheated grill for 30 to 40 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken breasts reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).
