Ingredients

Recipe adapted from one on SpendWithPennies.com

  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes
  • 2 tsps olive oil
  • 1 tbsp seasoning salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup bacon bits
  • ⅔ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce divided
  • green onions or chives
  • 4 tbsps sour cream optional

Instructions:

  1. Preheat you grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Cut four large squares of heavy duty aluminum foil and parchment paper. Make the packets by settings piece of foil aside and topping it with parchment paper.
  3. Wash and dry the potatoes or any other veggies and slice thinly. Chop the green onions.
  4. Add a layer of sliced vegetables to the center of each packet, dividing them evenly among the packets. 
  5. Sprinkle with green onions and a drizzle of oil. Then generously salt and pepper the veggies. 
  6. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. 
  7. Place a chicken breast on top of the vegetables and brush with BBQ sauce, coating the bottom of the chicken as well.
  8. Seal the packet completely, rolling the sides together to ensure no steam escapes. 
  9. Place the packets on the grill, veggies down, and cook for 25 minutes until veggies are tender and chicken has reached 165°F internal temperature.
  10. Remove the packet from the grill and cut open the foil. Brush the chicken with another layer of BBQ sauce and top with cheese and bacon. 
  11. Return the packets to the grill long enough to melt the cheese and then top with sour cream and chives!
