Ingredients

  • 18 ounces chicken breasts cubed
  • 2 zucchini medium, coined
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 8 ounces red baby potatoes quartered
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 package Italian dressing seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons prepared Italian dressing
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat for Cooking:

  • Oven: Preheat to 400°F.
  • Grill: Preheat to medium-high heat (425-450°F).

Prep the Foil:

  • Tear off four sheets of heavy-duty foil and lightly coat them with cooking spray. Sheets should be about 24 inches long.

Prep the Meat and Veggies:

  • Cut the chicken into chunks. Thinly slice the potatoes, zucchini, red bell peppers, and onion.

Season the Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, potatoes, zucchini, red bell peppers, onions, garlic,  olive oil, Italian seasoning dressing packet, Italian dressing, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Assemble the Foil Packs:

  • Divide the mixture evenly among the four foil sheets. Seal the foil packs tightly, do not double wrap.

Cook the Foil Packs:

  • Grill: Cook for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Oven: Place foil packs on a sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
  • Campfire: Cook in hot coals for 20-40 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes, depending on coal temperature and vegetable thickness.

Serve:

  • Carefully open the foil packs, expecting a steam release. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
