Ingredients

  1. 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
  2. 2 cups Kansas City BBQ Sauce, divided (see below for recipe)
  3. ⅓ cup sliced white mushrooms
  4. ½ medium onion, thinly sliced
  5. 8 slices provolone cheese
  6. ¼ teaspoon Fresh cilantro or parsley
  7. Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil
  8. 1 cup ketchup
  9. ½ cup brown sugar
  10. ¼ cup yellow mustard
  11. ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  12. ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  13. 2 tablespoons honey
  14. 2 tablespoons dark molasses
  15. 2 teaspoons chili powder
  16. 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  17. 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  18. 1 teaspoon onion powder
  19. 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  20. ½ teaspoon salt
  21. ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  2. Measure out 1/2 cup of sauce and set aside. Pour remaining sauce into a large sealable bag. Add chicken breasts to bag. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium heat and arrange four 12×12-inch pieces of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil on the grill. Use tongs to transfer one chicken breast to each foil square. Discard marinade.
  4. Brush each chicken breast with some of the remaining 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Top with mushrooms and onions. Fold foil around each chicken breast to enclose the chicken and veggies. Allow to cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear or a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 170 degrees F.
  5. Unwrap foil packets and place 2 slices of provolone cheese over each chicken breast so that the cheese is lying on top of the mushrooms and onions. Allow to cook uncovered 2 to 3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve.
  6. Lock in delicious flavor by grilling chicken and veggies together in a Reynolds Wrap(R) Non-Stick Foil packet.

Ms. Rebecca Gray
This is one of my favorite recipes on here by far! I do not like BBQ sauce or anything remotely spicy. This dish changed my mind-I LOVE this BBQ sauce and it is BOTH spicy AND sweet. Absolutely AMAZING & out of this world. I make this BBQ sauce and use it in so many other dishes now too. This recipe is such a hit in our home, we have made this exactly as the recipe says over 5+ times now.

Great flavor.

It’s really hard to go wrong with bbq, mushrooms, and melty cheese. This one didn’t disappoint. I made as written except we don’t have a grill so I just cooked the onions and mushrooms together until tender. Marinated the chicken in a 1/2 cup of bbq sauce and cooked it on the stove top until done, then topped with more bbq, onions, mushrooms, and cheese, put the lid on and let it all melt together.

The sauce turns to liquid and when its done there is none left on the chicken. End result is a bland, and as usual, dry chicken breast. Mushrooms, cheese, and onions were good though!

Made as written, family loved it! Nice to have a different type of chicken that is grilled!

We loved this recipe! I did not use the liquid smoke in the sauce because we do not like the taste, but, made the rest of the sauce as the recipe stated. It was spicy and had a great tang! I also sauteed the mushrooms and onions in a pan before added to the chicken because I don’t like the taste of steamed onions and mushrooms and was afraid that was how they would cook in the foil. The chicken cooked perfectly moist and juicy in the foil packet. We took the suggestion of sprinkling some cilantro on top of the chicken and I am glad we did! The cilantro gave it a fresh taste and worked perfect with the flavors in the bbq sauce.
