How to Make Bbq And Cheddar Foil Chicken Dinner

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare four 12x12 inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Divide the following ingredients evenly among the four foil sheets: 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce per packet, 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast half (about 6 ounces) per packet, 1/4 medium russet potato (about 1/2 cup cubed), 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (any color), 1/4 cup chopped onion, salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Place chicken breast half in the center of each foil sheet. Top with 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce.
  5. Add the potato, bell pepper, and onion on top of the chicken.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Fold foil in half over the ingredients, creating a sealed packet. Crimp edges tightly to prevent leakage.
  8. Place packets on a baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 35 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven. Carefully open each foil packet using scissors, being cautious of steam.
  11. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over each chicken breast.
  12. Return packets to the oven (unsealed) for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Carefully remove from oven and serve directly from the foil packets or transfer to plates.
