BBQ Chicken
and Cheddar Foil Packet Dinner
- 3 tablespoons barbeque
sauce
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)
2 small unpeeled red potatoes, thinly sliced
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 green onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Fahrenheit.
- Place a foil sheet, approximately
12x12 inches, on a work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the
barbecue sauce in the center of the foil sheet. Place one chicken
breast half over barbecue sauce and spread another teaspoon of
sauce over chicken. Top with a quarter of the potato, bell pepper
and onion. Sprinkle with a little of the salt and pepper.
- Fold foil in half to cover
contents; make narrow folds along edges to seal. Repeat with
remaining ingredients to assemble three more packets. Place packets
on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.
- Open foil packets with
scissors and carefully pull back edges (contents may be very
hot). Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the top of each chicken
breast half and return to oven, unsealed, for 2 minutes or until
cheese is melted. With a spatula, transfer the contents of each
packet onto individual serving plates, if desired.
Makes 4 servings.
