Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt
  • 1 package baby potatoes, sliced in half
  • 1/2 each red, yellow and green pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cilantro, salsa and sour cream to serve

Chicken marinade

  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat BBQ to med-high heat. Mix together ingredients for chicken and let marinate for 10 min. Meanwhile, toss veggies and potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder and seasoning salt.
  • Create four foil packets and add veggies and chicken to each, spooning a bit of marinade over the chicken. Create foil covers for each foil packet, then cook on BBQ for 20-25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat and remove foil cover, then top chicken with cheese. Place cover back on gently and let sit for 3-4 min until cheese is melted. Serve with chopped cilantro, salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Mix up the veggies and potatoes to whatever you’re craving.
Use chicken thighs or legs for a juicier cut of meat (but a higher calorie count).
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Sprinkle some water over top then microwave for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Freeze the chicken for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit.
