    Easy meals are always a necessity for me, but they are more important than ever now that summer has arrived. We make only the easiest of meals in the summer months. Grilled Chicken and Veggies cooked in foil is one of our go-to meals this season.

    Grilled chicken and vegetables is an easy, healthy recipe to make on any summer night. This recipe is perfect for camping excursions or for meal prep and planning for the week.

    HOW TO MAKE GRILLED CHICKEN AND VEGGIES IN FOIL

    STEP 1

    Light a grill over medium heat. Spray two large pieces of aluminum foil with cooking spray.

    STEP 2

    Place 1 chicken breast and an assortment of fresh, cut veggies into the center of each piece of foil. Do not exceed 1 1/2 cups vegetables per foil packet.

    Drizzle olive oil over the tops along with a squirt of lemon juice and sprinkling of salt and pepper.

    STEP 3

    Cinch the aluminum foil closed. Cook on the preheated grill for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately!

    RECIPE NOTES

    • Veggie options: cherry tomatoes, carrot chunks, green beans, bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus or onions (green, yellow or red).
    • Stick a meat thermometer into the center of the chicken breast to determine doneness. Internal temp should read 165 degrees F minimum.
    • If potatoes are added to foil packets, cook time should be increased by 5 minutes.
    • This is a great meal to make for lazy summer nights on the back deck or camping.
    • Use boneless skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.
    • There’s no need to flip the packet, as the foil will trap in heat and steam ensuring the chicken gets fully cooked.
