Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for direct, high-heat cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, baby potatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Divide the mixture evenly among the foil sheets.
- Carefully fold and crimp the edges of the foil to create sealed packets.
- Cook the foil packets on the grill for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or place them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for the same time.
- Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are fork-tender before serving.
- Carefully open the packets, allowing steam to escape, and serve the contents on plates or bowls.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through, ensuring the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before serving.
