Ingredients

  • about 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into bite-sized pieces
  • ⅔ cup barbecue sauce (I used this one
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium/large zucchini diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow or orange bell pepper diced into bite-sized pieces
  • salt and pepper to taste for seasoning vegetables
  • green onions sliced into thin rounds optional for garnishing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To a large ziptop plastic bag, add the chicken, barbecue sauce, honey, vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon pepper, seal bag, and squish contents around to evenly distribute them and coat the chicken. Place bag in the fridge for at least 15 minutes (or overnight) to marinate.
  2. Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat oven to 425F.
  3. Place 4 large sheets of foil on the counter and evenly distribute the chicken to the center of each piece of foil.
  4. Evenly distribute and nestle the zucchini, peppers, and broccoli around the chicken on each of the 4 pieces of foil.
  5. Evenly drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the vegetables to lightly coat them and evenly season with salt and pepper.
  6. Seal up the foil packs very tightly, place them on the grill and grill for about 9 to 10 minutes. Exact grilling time will vary based on the type of grill, the size, the heat level, how thick the chicken is, etc.
  7. Optionally garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Baking: If you're baking these in the oven, I would start checking at 40 minutes and go from there.
  • Storage: Recipe is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
