BBQ Chicken & Cheddar Foil Packet Dinner

from the kitchen of Shawnalyn


Ingredients:

3 Tbs BBQ sauce
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1lb)
2 small unpeeled red potatoes, thinly sliced
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded & sliced
1 green onion, finely chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper (pinch)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375*, Place a 12x12 sheet of foil on counter. Spoon 1 tsp of BBQ sauce in the center of the foil sheet. Place one chicken breast over BBQ sauce & spread another tsp. of sauce over top of the chicken. Top with 1/4 of each of the other ingredients so that you have enough to top each chicken breast with an even amount of ingredients. Fold up and seal foil around chicken. Repeat the same process with each chicken breast. Place all 4 foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 35 min. Then, pull back the foil (or cut with scissors) and place cheese on top of each chicken breast. Return to oven, (foil open) for an additional 2 min or until cheese is melted.

You can obviously use more BBQ sauce or cheese etc. Do it to your own taste. As is, it is only 290 calories per serving, so it’s a pretty light dinner. I always add a little bit more sauce and cheese though so I bump up those calories. Also remember to slice your potatoes and pepper pretty thin so they will cook in that amount of time.
