Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (low-sugar or sugar-free)
- 2 cups baby red potatoes, diced
- 1.5 cups zucchini, diced
- 1 cup carrots, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spray 4 large sheets of aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray. Each sheet should be large enough to fold into a packet around the chicken and vegetables.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Divide the diced baby red potatoes, zucchini, and sliced carrots evenly among the foil sheets. Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place one chicken breast on top of the vegetables on each foil sheet. Brush each chicken breast with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce.
Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create a sealed packet. Make sure there are no holes to prevent leaking.
If grilling: Place the packets seam-side up on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 30-35 minutes, turning once halfway through. If baking: Place the packets on a baking sheet and cook in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
Carefully open one packet to check for doneness. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables should be tender.
Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam!) and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
