A quick and easy summer BBQ recipe featuring marinated chicken and fresh veggies cooked in foil packets for juicy, flavorful results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound / 450 g), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Aluminum foil sheets for grilling packs

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken pieces with BBQ sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until coated. Marinate at least 15 minutes or up to a couple of hours in the fridge.
  2. Slice bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Toss lightly with salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
  3. Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each). Divide chicken and veggies evenly among packs, placing chicken in center and veggies around it.
  4. Fold foil over ingredients and crimp edges tightly to seal packets.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C). Place foil packs on grill grates and cook 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) internally and veggies should be tender.
  6. Carefully open one pack to avoid steam. Garnish with parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve directly from foil packs or plated.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 15 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor. Avoid overcrowding foil packs to prevent steaming. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. Flip packs carefully to avoid tearing foil. If chicken seems dry, add a splash of water or extra BBQ sauce before sealing.
