chicken foil packets

Is it completely ridiculous if I tell you all that foil pack dinners pretty much completely changed my life?

I mean, it’s just toss everything in and go – they’re so nice for the oven on busy nights and perfect for the grill when the weather is warm!

When they’re done, everyone just gets their own awesome foil pouch of dinner.

Clean up is a total snap too, which I’m never ever going to complain about.

I mean, seriously, who needs a plate?

You know I’ve been talking about camping/lake weekends A LOT around here lately.

I just can’t wait to gooooo!  Is school out for summer yet?

One more week.  Almost there.

These will be another regular on our camping menu this year.  Super easy to make the sauce ahead, get these ready in about five minutes, and chill out while they grill for about 20 minutes.

Are you guys “honey mustard people” I totally am.  Love the stuff, give me a straw.

Dan, not a honey mustard guy.  BUT – he loves this you guys!

Glad he likes them, because, I would have kept making them if he didn’t anyway.

Not kidding.

chicken foil packets

So if you have never done foil packets, it’s pretty simple.

For this one, the honey mustard sauce is just a few ingredients so I get it whisked together first.

Pull off sheets of foil that are about 12 inches long, and spray them with cooking spray.

I use baby red and yellow potatoes, cut the big ones in half so they all have a chance to cook the same.

Cube up some chicken breast tenders.

Pile it on your foil.  Salt & pepper your heart out.  Drizzle with honey mustard.

Fold the sides of the foil over the top of the chicken and seal, then fold up the ends and seal.  Creating your little “packet.”

Bake them in the oven or pop them on the grill – and – EAT!

Enjoy!

    I used bite-sized chicken breasts and it turned out delicious. Definitely a keeper recipe. I had no idea honey mustard could taste so good! The only thing I did wrong was not chopping the potatoes small enough, some of them weren’t cooked but it’s something to remember for next time.

  2. 4 stars
    Overall it was very good but the potatoes should be cooked before they go in the packets. When I followed the instructions they were crunchy.

    So far,every meat or chicken recipe. I have read has called for Italian seasoning. What kind do you use? The ones I have used have been harsh and bitter. Do you have a milder brand or make your own?

  4. 5 stars
    Just made this! Family loved it and I’ll definitely make it again! Super easy and tasty. Also made your crispy baked chicken thighs, followed the recipe and it was excellent! Thank you!

  5. Do you think this could be done with boneless pork chops? If so do you think it would change the cooking time?

    1. Yes. You can even freeze the food in their packets, but make sure they are at least refrigerated. Thaw and grill or bake as per instructions. If baking directly from frozen, add 20+ minutes to total time.

  6. I’m thinking I could do this as a whole meal in a small casserole dish versus separating in to individual packets. Do you think I would need to cook it any longer than the individual packets?

    1. Hi! I don’t think it would take any longer. I’d say just make sure that the potatoes are definitely bite-sized or they might not cook as fast. It also might not hurt to cover your casserole dish with foil to make sure the chicken doesn’t dry out. Hope that helps 🙂

    Just love your simplicity, let’s face it no one has time to be in the kitchen all day as much as we appreciate good food! At the moment I have your banana bread with chocolate chips in the oven, yum!
