Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 medium green or yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup Tex Mex cheese shredded
  • 2 green onion stalks diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper sliced, optional
  • Sour cream optional
  • Lime wedges optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the BBQ grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut up the vegetables and slice the chicken.
  • Divide the ingredients equally onto four sheets of foil (about 12” long).
  • Top with salsa and cheese.
  • Fold aluminum foil into a packet.
  • Place packs directly onto the grill grate.
  • Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
  • Garnish with green onions, sour cream, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and jalapeno if desired.

Notes

  • When planning for camping, we like to do as much prep as possible at home, while we have access to hot running water. It makes cleanup so much easier.
  • Place foil packs on a baking sheet if you are worried about the packet leaking on the grill.
  • Use sheets of heavy-duty foil or double wrap your packet if you are worried out breakage.
  • Open these chicken foil packets carefully as they will be hot!
  • Give each square of foil a light coating of nonstick cooking spray to help prevent your ingredients from sticking.
  • Be sure to cut your chicken breasts into evenly sized pieces for even cooking.
  • Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or cooler.
