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 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!!!

This was sooo easy to make and so good. Just added a bunch of hot peppers on side for taste.

Couldn't be any simpler and absolutely tasted great for the effort and with such few ingredients. I added a little Weber's Zesty Lemon Seasoning to the ingredients just because I always add sometyhing to a recipe (my wife chides me for it). The juice in the foil pack was like a fine Italian soup! I'll make it again, most assuredly!
