Preparation Phase & Tools to Use (Essential Tools and Their Importance)

To make these foil packs successfully, you’ll need heavy-duty aluminum foil for wrapping, which locks in moisture and ensures even cooking. A sharp knife and cutting board help prep the chicken and vegetables neatly. Tongs are key for safe handling on the grill, while a grill or oven provides the heat source. Don’t forget a basting brush if you’re adding extra BBQ sauce — it’s your flavor booster!

How To Make the No-Fuss BBQ Chicken & Veggie Foil Packs

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

Slice chicken into portions, chop veggies into chunks, and preheat your grill (or oven to 400°F).

Step 2: Assemble the Packs

Lay out foil sheets, drizzle with olive oil, and layer chicken and veggies. Season generously, then brush with BBQ sauce.

Step 3: Seal It Up

Fold the foil into tight packets, crimping edges to prevent leaks.

Step 4: Cook to Perfection

Place on the grill (medium heat) or oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.

Step 5: Finish and Garnish

Carefully open packets (watch for steam), sprinkle parsley, and serve hot.

Serving and Storing Your No-Fuss BBQ Chicken & Veggie Foil Packs

Serve these foil packs straight from the grill for a rustic vibe, or plate them over rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad. They’re great for backyard dinners or laid-back camping feasts.

Leftovers? Let the packets cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on the grill for best results; microwaving is okay but may soften the veggies.
