How to Make Barbecue Chicken Dinner Packets

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine chicken, barbecue sauce, onion, bell pepper, potatoes, and carrots.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Season each packet with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Fold foil over the mixture to create sealed packets, crimping edges to prevent leaks.
  7. Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  8. Carefully remove packets from oven; let stand for 5 minutes before opening.
  9. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
