4 chicken breasts 4 oz each (boneless & skinless)
15-16 green beans ends trimmed, & cut into 2-3 pieces
2 carrots peel and slice Large carrots
1/2 head Brocolli and cauliflower cut both into florets
2 bell peppers red, green, or yellow, deseeded & diced
1 onion peeled, quartered, & layers separated
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper as per taste
½ cup barbeque sauce or any sauce of choice
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp smoked paprika for extra heat, optional
4 tbsp cilantro freshly chopped
4 heavy-duty foil sheets

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS
Set the grill for preheating at medium-high heat.
Lay the 4 foil sheets (each sheet being 18*12 inches) on an even surface. Place a chicken breast on the center of each foil sheet.
Divide the green beans, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, diced bell peppers, & onion pieces into 4 equal parts and arrange them around the chicken. Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle salt & pepper on top.
Prepare the sauce in a bowl by mixing the barbeque sauce, honey, lemon juice, & smoked paprika.
Brush the sauce generously on both sides of chicken breasts and keep the leftover sauce aside for later. Sprinkle ½ tbsp chopped cilantro on top of each chicken.
Fold the edges of the foil sheets over the chicken & veggies. Seal securely ensuring they don’t open up during grilling.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill rack cautiously. Grill for 10-12 minutes on each side.
Finally, remove from the grill and let them sit for 2-3 minutes before opening. Serve them by brushing the chicken with the leftover sauce and fresh cilantro garnish.
To Cook the Grilled BBQ Chicken Packets in the Oven:
Place the prepared foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° F for 20-25 minutes on a preheated oven.
After baking, partially open the top of the foil packets, and broil for 3-4 minutes.

Notes

Be sure to mix and match Veggie. I use what I have on hand, great way to use up odds and ends from a weekend of camping.
