Does anyone have an easy ';foil pack'; recipes for chicken?

Foil Pack Chicken





4 sheets heavy duty aluminum foil


4 boneless chicken breasts 4 small zucchini


4 small yellow squash


Sliced onion to taste, I just used dried chopped onion


1 can black beans, drained


olive oil


McCormick's Spice Blends--Santa Fe style


butter


Corn starch, optional








Oil the center of the foil and place one chicken breast on each. Sprinkle with a little of the spice. Slice 1 each zucchini and yellow squash into 1/2'; rounds and mound on top of chicken. Sprinkle a quarter can of the black beans on top, add onion to taste. Drizzle a little olive oil over all and sprinkle on more of the spice mix to taste. Add dabs of butter. You can add a little cornstarch to thicken the juices that will form. Do the same for the remaining three breasts.





Fold up long sides of foil and fold over, leaving room for the steam. Fold up the ends till you have a nice packet. Cook on med/high heat on grill for about 45 minutes. Don't turn the packets over as the liquid will drain out. Place on plates when done, unfold, being careful of escaping steam, and enjoy.





Great with iced tea, and chilled fruit salad.





Foil Pack Oriental Chicken





* 3 cups instant white rice, uncooked


* 3 1/4 cups warm water, divided


* 6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves, 1/2 inch thick


* 3 cups frozen oriental mixed vegetables

* 1/2 cup KRAFT SWEET RECIPES Honey Mustard Barbecue Sauce


* 2 teaspoons soy sauce





Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix rice and 3 cups of the water; spoon evenly onto center of each of six large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Top each with one chicken breast and 1/2 cup of the vegetables. Drizzle evenly with combined peanut butter, barbecue sauce, soy sauce and remaining 1/4 cup water.


Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place foil packets in single layer in 15x10x1-inch baking pan.


Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (170 degrees F). Remove packets from oven; let stand 5 minutes. Place one packet on each of six dinner plates. Cut slits in foil with sharp knife to release steam before opening.

1 pound chicken (hamburger, shrimp or beef tips/stew)


mixed fresh vegetables (potatoes, onion, broccoli, carrots, etc.)


butter (if meat has no fat)


salt and pepper, to taste


Use heavy duty foil or foil pouches, add a serving of chicken(or other meat) to center of each foil pack. Add chopped vegetables of choice to each. Broccoli cooks easily, so use whole florets. Potatoes and carrots are very hard, so slice into smaller than bite-size pieces. Add butter to chicken or shrimp to ensure the whole thing doesn't stick to the foil. Season and close the bag or fold foil with center seam and ends sealed well. Cook over fire, about 20 minutes, rotating and turning often with tongs.Does anyone have an easy ';foil pack'; recipes for chicken?
