Ingredients

Barbecue Sauce

½ cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite)

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon chili powder

Heavy Duty Foil (plus parchment paper if preferred)*

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness

Seasoned salt (I used Lawry's), to taste

Black pepper, to taste

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

1 ear of corn, kernels removed

1 zucchini, chopped

½ red bell pepper, cut into chunks

¼ red onion, cut into small chunks

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut four 18 x 12 inch squares of foil* and lay out on a flat surface. Place one chicken breast in the middle of each piece of foil and divide the vegetables evenly into each packet. arranging them around the chicken.
  2. Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with olive oil and season with seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, apple cider, chili powder and smoked paprika. Brush sauce on both sides of the chicken - reserving enough for later. Sprinkle with half of the chopped parsley.
  4. Fold the foil over the chicken and seal to close off the packets.
  5. To grill the foil packets: Place foil packets onto grill and grill for 7-8 minutes, then flip over and grill for an additional 6-8 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken) or until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove from the grill and carefully open the foil packets. Brush chicken with reserved sauce and top with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
  7. To make the foil packets in the oven: Place foil packets on a baking sheet and cook for 25-35 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through (depends on your oven and how thick the chicken is) and rotating tray once). Time varies depending on the thickness of the chicken. Remove baking sheet from oven. Brush chicken with reserved sauce and top with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

*if you prefer using parchment paper instead - you can also cut four 18 x 12 inch parchment paper squares and place them on top of the foil and place the salmon and vegetables on the parchment paper. Then double wrap the packets with the foil layer on the outside.
