LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place 1 chicken breast, 1 bell pepper wedge, 2 tomato halves and 2 onion wedges on center of each sheet. Pour 2 tablespoons dressing over chicken and vegetable mixture on each packet.
  • 2 For each packet, bring up 2 sides of foil over chicken and vegetables 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.
  • 3 Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 18 to 22 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Place packets on plates. Cut large X across tops of packets; carefully fold back foil.

EXPERT TIPS

Individual grill packets are super quick to assemble and very easy to pop on the grill for cooking. For a "no-dishwashing-required" meal, serve the packets on sturdy disposable plates.

Serve these easy packets with a crisp green salad and cantaloupe wedges.

I wanted to love this recipe...maybe I did something wrong. I followed the recipe exactly. The chicken was moist and the vegetables were tender but it had no flavor. The Italian dressing could not be tasted at all. I wonder if I didn't leave enough of a tent on the foil packet. Some of the dressing was oozing out of the ends of the packets. I will try this again but next time I will marinate the chicken in the dressing first. Did anyone else experience this?

I loved this recipe, but I did a lot of tweaking. First off, I put two drumsticks in each packet instead of breasts. The meat ended up so tender that it fell off the bone. I also used three different types of bell peppers, yellow orange and red. I added fresh mushrooms and fresh broccoli along with some baby carrots, plus salt and pepper. It tasted absolutely wonderful with some grilled potatoes!!!
