How to Make Grilled Pesto Chicken Packets
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350-400°F).
- Cut four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Place one 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast half, 1 medium tomato (sliced), and 1 medium zucchini (sliced) onto one side of each foil sheet.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of pesto evenly over each chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, bringing the edges together to meet.
- Create a tight seal by folding the edges over twice (about 1/2-inch folds).
- Leave a little space on the sides of each packet to allow for steam circulation and expansion.
- Carefully place the foil packets on the preheated grill, 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
- Grill for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the juices run clear.
- Remove the packets from the grill and carefully place them on plates.
- Cut a large 'X' across the top of each packet to release the steam.
- Carefully fold back the foil and serve immediately.
