Best Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Foil Packs Recipes

GRILLED MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Mix cheese, lemon peel and oregano. Place 1 chicken breast, 3 tomato slices, 1/4 cup onion and 5 olives on center of each sheet. Spoon 1/4 of the cheese mixture over chicken and vegetables on each sheet.
• For each packet, bring up 2 sides of foil over chicken and vegetables so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Stir together the vegetable oil, cider vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, basil, and thyme in a bowl; set aside.
• Lay out 4 12x12 inch squares of aluminum foil. Place 1 chicken breast in the center of each square, top with potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Ladle 1/4 of the sauce on each and fold the foil around the ingredients to form four sealed packets.
• Grill the packets on the preheated grill for 30 to 40 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken breasts reaches 170 degrees F (75 degrees C).

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, stir together tomatoes, artichoke hearts and olives; set aside.
• Cut 2 (18-inch-long) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place 1 tilapia fillet in center of each sheet. Spoon tomato mixture evenly over tilapia. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Open packets carefully. Sprinkle salt and pepper over top; serve with lemon wedges.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN PACKETS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill, or preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Prepare 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil to measure about 12 by 15-inches.
• Fold in half crosswise to crease, then unfold.
• Divide the spinach among the 4 foil sheets, placing it in the center of the bottom half.
• Lightly coat both sides of each chicken breast with oil, then season with the Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
• Place one chicken fillet in the center of each spinach portion.
• In a medium bowl, combine the onions, tomatoes, olives, garlic, wine, basil, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and stir to combine.
• Pile the tomato mixture on top of each chicken breast, spreading to cover evenly and allow any liquid to puddle around the chicken.
• Top each portion with 1 ounce of cheese.
• One at a time, fold the top of the foil over the chicken, and starting at the corner, fold the edges of foil over to tightly seal, each fold overlapping the previous one.
• Place on the grill, or if using the oven, place the packets on a baking sheet and bake until the packages puff and the chicken is cooked through, about 12-18 minutes.
• Remove from the grill or oven, and cut the tops of the packets open with a small, sharp knife.
• Serve immediately either in the foil packets, or by removing the chicken, toppings and sauce to dinner plates.

CAMPFIRE FOIL PACKS

• In a large bowl, or a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken, onion, mushrooms, yellow pepper, red pepper, garlic, and potatoes. Pour in the olive oil and lemon juice, then mix well.
• Evenly divide the mixture between 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Top each with another sheet of foil, and roll up the edges tightly. Wrap each packet again, securely in another sheet of foil to double wrap.
• Cook in the hot coals of a campfire until the chicken is opaque and the potatoes are tender, around 40 minutes.
