Foil Pack Chicken with Cajun Spice and Vegetables

Warmer weather is finally here which means it’s grilling season. Foil pack dinners are always a good idea because they are quick, easy, and make a great healthy dinner with lots of flavor and little fuss.

This foil pack chicken recipe is so simple: you just mix all the ingredients in one bowl, pop everything into the foil, and grill until the chicken is cooked through.

The end result? The chicken is juicy, the veggies are tender, and the Cajun seasoning brings everything up a notch. (If you’re sensitive to a lot of spice, just cut down on the cayenne pepper and this dish will still be delicious.)

The spices of this foil pack chicken pairs perfectly with some hot cauliflower rice or some sweet potatoes. Next time you have a BBQ, try this as a dish—I promise, your friends will love it.

Ingredients

• 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground oregano
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat grill on medium-high heat. Or, if you’re using an oven, pre-heat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cut 4 squares of foil, roughly 12”x12” in size. Set aside.
3. Combine all your ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
4. Distribute the mixture evenly into the center of each of the 4 foil sheets.
5. Fold the edges of the foil over to create 4 sealed packets.

7. Serve hot as is or with your favorite side.
