This chicken foil packets recipe is great for summer and can be made in the oven, grill, or over a campfire. Whichever cooking method you choose, this is a fun way to make a meal for the whole family to enjoy!

Chicken Foil Packets

chicken breasts (cut lengthwise into 4 pieces each)

1lb 8 oz bag Petite Red Potatoes (cut lengthwise into 4 pieces each)

yellow onion ( finely chopped)

tbsp butter

tbsp minced garlic

tsp smoked paprika

tsp chipotle chili powder

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

garlic powder

bacon

Colby Jack cheese (shredded)

chives (chopped)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rip 4 long pieces of foil, and fold each piece in half to make it stronger and prevent leaks. Set aside.

Place the cut Petite Red Potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat and allow to cook for 6 minutes. Drain potatoes, return to pot, and let cool.

Add chicken pieces, chopped onions, melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat all pieces of chicken and potatoes.

Place about 1 ½ cups of potatoes in each foil packet (you’ll want to divide the potatoes equally between the 4 foil packs), top with 4 chicken pieces. Bring up the two lengthwise pieces of foil and fold over to seal. Roll the two edges of foil together. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken juices run clear.

Remove from the oven and open each chicken packet. Drain the liquid from each packet and place the packet back down on the baking sheet, still open.

Divide the Colby Jack cheese evenly between each packet and sprinkle directly on top of the chicken. Add cooked and chopped bacon to the tops of the cheese and place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Top with chives, serve and enjoy!

Caprese Chicken Foil Packets

mini new potatoes

olive oil

basil pesto

mozzarella ball

tomato

Salt (and pepper)

Preheat the grill or oven to 400 degrees F. Lay out 4 large squares of foil.

Cut the potatoes into quarters and divide them onto the four pieces of foil. Drizzle each pile of potatoes with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Lay one chicken breast over each pile of potatoes. Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto over each chicken breast, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold each piece of foil around the potatoes and chicken, sealing on the top and sides.

Grill or bake the chicken packets for 30-35 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the mozzarella ball into four rounds, and cut four slices of tomato.

Once the chicken is cooked through, carefully open the foil packets and place one slice of mozzarella and one slice of tomato over the top of the chicken. Brush a scant amount of pesto over the top of each tomato. Place the packets, open, over the grill for 5 minutes to let the mozzarella melt.

Simply toss the ingredients in a sealed foil packet and place on a grill grate over your campfire to cook and you&#039;ll have yourself a homemade dinner in the great outdoors.

Campfire Foil Packets

soy sauce

lemon

lemon juice juice

brown sugar

Tablespoons olive oil (divided)

garlic

smoked paprika

boneless skinless chicken breasts (thin sliced)

baby potatoes

green beans (trimmed)

Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

salt and pepper (to taste)

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, and smoked paprika to make the marinade.

Place chicken in the marinade and cover (or place chicken and marinade in a Ziploc bag). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, even better if you can marinate overnight.

Just before assembling the foil packets, toss together baby potatoes, green beans, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and salt/pepper to taste.

Tear off four large (18”x18”) sheets of aluminum foil. Fold in half once to form a double layer rectangle.

Place 1⁄4 of the veggie mixture in the center of the foil. Place one chicken breast over the top of the vegetables. Fold in each side to the center and then fold in the top and bottom to form a secure packet. Repeat for the remaining ingredients to form four foil packets.

Cook over grill or campfire at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender and the chicken registers 165°F internal temperature.

Season with salt, pepper, and a fresh sprinkle of parsley, if desired.

Grilled Herbed Chicken &amp; Potato Foil Packs are a fun and simple summer dinner that the whole family will love. Chock full of delicious Italian spices, these packets can even be cooked on a camping stove or over a fire!

Grilled Herbed Chicken &amp; Potato Foil Packs

boneless skinless chicken thighs (OR 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts)

onion powder

oregano

basil

dill

salt

potatoes

mushrooms

Stir together seasonings and set aside. Add oil to a bowl along with chicken, potatoes, and mushrooms and toss to coat everything in the oil.

Lay out 4 12x12 sheets of nonstick foil on a flat surface. Divide chicken, potatoes, and mushrooms between each of the foil sheets. (If using thighs there should be 1-2 per foil sheet, if using breasts there should be 1 per foil sheet) Sprinkle with seasoning mixture.

Fold foil over the chicken-potato-mushroom mixture and scrunch the ends of the foil together to close off the foil pack.

Place foil packs on preheated grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, then flip and cook another 5-7 minutes. Check the chicken for doneness, once cooked through, garnish with fresh herbs if desired (such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano) and serve immediately.

Tastes great, but you might re-evaluate the oven method mentioned (400 for 20-25min). I used full-size boneless breasts and it was still pink/raw after 25min with an internal temperature of 110 F.

how would I back them? I live in a apt and can't BBQ.

Used our grill with chicken tenderloins at 15 minutes, turn, 5 minutes.  After reading all thr reviews, I decided to double the seasoning and make sure the potatoes were sliced very thin. Had no problem with the potatoes not being cooked through, in fact, they melted in our mouths.  Thanks for the recipe.

Healthy and delicious Tex Mex flavored bean and chicken foil packets! Who knew that eating healthy while camping could be this easy?

Campfire Tex Mex White Bean Chicken Packets

navy beans

tomatoes

10/11 ounces can mini corn (or niblets)

Mexican Spice Blend

boneless skinless chicken breasts (diced)

shredded cheese Mexican blend

chopped green onion

tin-foil squares about 18" x 12"

Combine all ingredients, excepting the cheese and green onion, in a large bowl.

Place 1/4 of the mixture on each foil square, then fold up the tinfoil so that the mixture won't leak while turning the packet over the fire.

Place on a BBQ grill or the grate over a campfire and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning the packets occasionally so that everything is cooked evenly.

When the chicken has been cooked thoroughly, remove from the fire and cool slightly.

Turn out the foil packets onto a plate, top with cheese and green onion.

Enjoy!

This was really good but the calories are definitely not accurate. With 2% cheese, I calculated 340 calories per serving.

Umm never seen Navy beans used in texmex, maybe sub black beans???

Thanks for sharing this recipe Karlynn.For a slightly different flavor(s), you could substitute the can of tomatoes with a can of Rotel (canned tomatoes with green chile peppers) or the canned tomatoes that already have garlic and Italian herb blends (basil, oregano, &#38; thyme), etc. &#160;Our local Aldi store occasionally sells canned tomatoes that has corn &#38; okra added.

My kids picked this recipe out for dinner last night. We LOVED it! We baked it in the oven 450 degrees for a little under 20 minutes. The chicken was so tender and tasty. It was so fun to have the kids make their own packets. &#160;Thank you!!

Looks good, We'are definitely going to try this!
