Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved

  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced

  • 1/2 red onion, sliced

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

  • Heavy-duty foil

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  • Lay out 4 large sheets of foil.

  • In a bowl, toss potatoes, bell peppers, and onions with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.

  • Top with veggie mix, then spoon BBQ sauce over each chicken breast.

  • Fold the foil tightly to seal each pack.

  • Grill foil packs for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.

  • Carefully open packs (watch for steam!) and sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Double Up the Foil – Use two layers of heavy-duty foil to prevent leaks and make cleanup even easier.

  • Even Cutting is Key – Chop veggies into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly alongside the chicken.

  • No Grill? No Problem! – You can bake these foil packs in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes.

  • Add a Kick – Mix a little hot sauce into your BBQ sauce for a spicy twist.

  • Check Doneness – Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken hits 165°F (75°C) in the center.

  • Let it Rest – After removing from the grill or oven, let the foil packs sit for 2–3 minutes to lock in juices.

  • Make it Your Own – Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or toss in corn, zucchini, or mushrooms for a veggie boost.
