Fix it in Foil Barbequed Chicken

Fix it in Foil
This is a great cookbook if you like tasty recipes and easy clean-ups - and who doesn’t? Each recipe includes 3 cooking methods: Ovens, Grills and Campfires. Here is one of the 51 fantastic recipes featured in this cookbook.


Barbequed Chicken


4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup barbeque sauce
1 (15.25 oz.) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup chopped green pepper

Cut 4 pieces of heavy-duty foil, each large enough to wrap around one chicken breast half with vegetables. Spray the foil with nonstick vegetable spray. Set 1 chicken breast half on each piece of foil. Spread about 1/4 cup barbeque sauce on top of each chicken breast half. Spoon equal portions of the drained corn and green pepper on top of sauce. Wrap foil in a tent pack around each serving.

Cooking methods:

Oven: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for 18 to 25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked.

Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place foil packs on the grill over direct heat, close lid and cook for 12 to 18 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Move packs as needed to obtain even heating.

Campfire: Place double-wrapped foil packs on medium embers and cook for 15 to 25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Move packs as needed to obtain even heating.
