Chicken and Green Bean Foil Packet

Quick and easy weeknight dinner for two with juicy, lemony chicken thighs, green beans and red pepper. I used green beans that I had taken straight from the garden to the freezer then into this dinner!

Ingredients:

3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in 4 pieces each

1/4 lb fresh or frozen green beans

3 green onions, sliced

1/2 large red pepper, sliced

3 or 4 lemon slices

1 tbsp fresh rosemary

Old Bay seasoning

Take a large piece of foil and lay it on a baking sheet. Place the lemon slices down the middle. Season the chicken well with Old Bay and put on top of the lemon. Lay the green beans on either side. These green beans were still frozen, no problem.

Top it off with red pepper, green onion, rosemary and more Old Bay. Fold the sides of the foil up and crimp tightly closed.

Cook in a 450°F oven for 25-30 minutes then remove from oven and leave closed 5-10 minutes. Carefully open the foil letting the steam escape.

Serves 2

Loaded Chicken Veggie Packets

All the flavour and moisture are retained when you barbecue chicken in foil packets. It's the best way to cook boneless chicken breast on the BBQ and the clean up is a breeze!

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally

1 celery stalk, sliced 

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 carrot, cut in matchsticks

1 tbsp minced garlic

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 tsp each: basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme.

salt and pepper to taste

Mix the seasonings together and add to the chicken, vegetables, garlic and olive oil. Stir to coat well and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.

When ready to cook heat grill to high or preheat oven to 425°F.

Cut 4 pieces of foil 12 X 14", place one piece of chicken in the center of each piece and top with the veggies. Wrap each packet firmly.

Barbecue for 20-25 minutes or bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. The internal temperature of chicken when cooked should be 165°F.

Ideally this would go well with rice but I had leftover spaghetti so that's why this happened 🤣
