Reviews
Made the recipe as stated minus mushrooms (only because I didn’t have any). I love the ease of cleanup! Lacking some flavor. I will make it again with increase of spices.
This recipe was quite delicious. I didn’t add mushrooms because I am allergic to mushrooms. I used red potatoes and added carrots. I used double heavy duty aluminum foil. The amount of cooking time can vary, depending on your grill. I would start checking the packets at 20 minutes, 40 minutes was too long on my grill.
I riffed a bit based off the veg and spices I had on hand. Otherwise the method was the same. Well except I missed cooking at med high heat. I kept the grill on the solar flare setting so I burnt the bottom a little. My wife LOVED it. She’s a veg person so this was perfect. It was plenty filling for me and it felt healthy. This definitely goes into the rotation. And since you can sub almost anything in the packet, super easy to mix it up.
Took out the cider vinegar and added a bbq sauce of my choice. Turned out really good.
I marinated chicken thighs for more flavor and skipped the oil and vinegar. Keeping the grill on medium resulted in very little burning.
This was real good, easy to make too. I will cook this again
This was a very delicious dish. My hubby and I both enjoyed it and will make it again! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve made this a lot, but I always add hot banana pepper rings n all the juice to them instead of vinegar. It adds a nice tang n spiciness to it. I also add zucchini, a few tablespoons of butter on top.
Made as written just double the sauce..it was very good!
I made this dish for my boyfriend and he said the flavor was good and the chicken cooked perfect . But the potatoes were uncooked and the peppers were over cooked. I think I need to cook the potatoes first then add them with all the ingredients to cook then will be perfect.
This is a great recipe. The marinade/sauce is really what makes it. With this type of recipe you can mix in just about any kind of veggies you like or have on hand. The only thing I did differently is I marinaded the chicken for about 6 hours in Italian dressing. I made this last week and I have already been asked to make it again.
I mixed this up enough that I feel weird reviewing it as is, but this gave me a great place to start. The only veggies I had on hand were summer veggies – zucchini and cherry tomatoes. So instead of one chicken breast per packet, I used two tenderloins, which would cook faster. I substituted balsamic vinegar for the cider vinegar, used fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder, and added a dash of oregano. Cooked for 30 minutes at slightly lower heat than suggested. The chicken came out tender and delicious, and while the veggies were a bit soft they still had form and flavor. I will definitely be playing around with this recipe all summer long!
I’ve now made this recipe several times now my girlfriend and I love it. aside from nuking the potatoes, I’ve still been unable to get them cooked at the same time as the chicken on my propane grill. I like the marinade as written, but, now that I’m used to the recipe, will start experimenting with more spices to give it a little more kick. Breasts are great, but I tend to prefer thighs. thank you for the recipe!
Yep…this one is a keeper! I love making foil packet dinners on the grill, so this one will go into the rotation. I did let the chicken marinate a few minutes in the sauce and poked it with a fork. Added a chunked up zucchini from my garden…very tasty and the chicken was so moist…yum!
Instead of using cider vinegar I use balsamic. I also substitute the mushrooms for peas…mmmmm.
I substituted smoked sausage for the chicken in this dish and it was very good!! Little to no clean up is a nice bonus, as well!! This would make a good camping meal. Thanks for the easy, tasty recipe, alaskaninthesouth!
Because I had already marinated chicken before finding this recipe, I left out the chicken and made half the seasoning mix. I made a few changes, based on what I had on hand. I lightly sprinkled paprika on the potatoes after slicing, mainly for color. I cut back slightly on the oil and added butter. Because I didnt have thyme, I added a little parsley in its place. Because others said it was not as flavorful without doubling (but I was worried about too much flavor as my bf is more of a subtle flavors kind of person), I added about 1/2 tsp of Cavenders. This was AMAZING!! We will be making this often! I cannot wait to try it with the chicken next time. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
I make this a lot but I put the chicken breasts, new potatoes, red pepper, carrots, roma tomatoes, celery, onion and corn on the cob. I generously butter the foil and put everything on it (or make individual ones if it’s just me and my hubby) then I generously sprinkle with “french fry seasoning” and garlic salt. I put another piece of foil on top and make a tight pouch, so tight that it puffs up while it’s on the grill. The cooking time is around 45 minutes on the grill, turning once halfway through. I was trying to copy Cracker Barrells recipe since they no longer have it on the menu…. Just experiment around with it until you get it the way you and yours like it 🙂 good luck!
good and easy, better with cheese
Made this the other night and it was so easy. Cooking it in the foil makes clean up so easy.
We tried this chicken tonight and it was amazing. The only thing we added was Tony Chachere’s to give it a little spice. It was delicious!
