How to Make Honey Lime Chicken Packets

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) or preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Prepare four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
  4. Set aside.
  5. Place one (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast half in the center of each foil sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Sprinkle the ginger mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
  8. Top each chicken breast with your favorite vegetables (e.g., 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers, 1/2 cup broccoli florets, 1/4 cup sliced onions per packet).
  9. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the honey-lime mixture over the vegetables on each packet.
  10. Bring up the foil sides and tightly fold over the top and ends to create a sealed packet, leaving a little space at the top for steam.
  11. Repeat steps 5-10 for the remaining chicken breasts and foil sheets.
  12. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or grill for 14-16 minutes, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  13. Carefully open the packets (be cautious of steam!), and serve the chicken and vegetables over rice. Makes 4 servings.
