My husband and I loved this recipe. Used chicken thigh and leg and it was awesome. Will definitely do again. Will add more veggies next time.

GRILLED Chicken and Vegetable Packs
This is super easy to make and my kids who are 13, 10 and 3 all love it. They love the Grilled Lemon Pepper Halibut and Squash Packs too but we substitue Tilapia for the Halibut.

There will be fights over the leftovers.
I made extra packets of this one and my wife and son were already fussing over who got the extra packet for lunch the next day. We'll make this one often!

This is one of the easiest meals I've ever made. I used chicken tenderloins and adjusted the time a bit. The chicken was so moist. I'll definitely make this again!

Great taste!
My wife and I love this recipe. It is simple to assemble, throw it on the grill, and forget about it until you need to take it off. I agree that it doesn't take quite the recommended 25 minutes to cook. Our experience is about 20 minutes. We like healthy recipes that do not compromise flavor and this is a keeper. The hot pepper gives it a perfect amount of zing to keep your taste buds intrigued.

This was very easy to assemble and had a very good flavor. I made several packets and used chicken thigh and legs as well as breasts with great results. Next time I will watch the grill more closely because it cooks faster than the 25 minutes recommended, but it tasted very good. A keeper!
