Chicken Foil Packs w/Potatoes, Cooked on the Grill

July 2, 2013

 Too hot outside and don’t want to use the oven? Grill it!!  Make Chicken Foil Packs and avoid the heat of the house Best part? It’s all wrapped in foil, so easy clean up!
Chicken and Potatoes both cooked on the grill. Makes for an easy clean up. www.lorisculinarycreations.com
Here we are with record 100+ degree temps for the last three days. The weather folks on our local channel called it a trifecta of 105 degree days. They make it sound fun, but it’s not.  It’s the go outside mid-day and melt type of hot. YOWZA! That’s why these Chicken Foil Packs are perfect. No need to use the oven.

I hate turning on the oven when it gets this hot. It just heats up the house so quickly the air conditioner cannot always catch up. So outside we headed to grill up some dinner. This chicken foil packs recipe was adapted from PaleOMG spanish chicken recipe. I did not have the cauliflower she used, but there were baby red potatoes in the fridge so I made the variation and it was a great switch.


If you camp often, this chicken is perfect to cook over the campfire. Since it’s all wrapped up in foil, there are no pots and pans to wash so you can spend more time roasting marshmallows and hanging out with the family.

And now the moment you’ve been waiting for…. the recipe!

Juicy Chicken Foil Packs Ingredients

10 baby red potatoes, quartered
1/2 pound mushrooms, quartered
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup canned coconut milk
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 clove garlic, chopped
8 chicken drummettes
handful of green olives, sliced
2 green onions, sliced
salt and pepper, to taste

Place the potatoes in a microwave safe dish with 1/4-1/2 inch of water. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. This will pre-cook the potatoes a bit so they start out half way there.

Place the potatoes and mushrooms into a mixing bowl and add the broth, coconut milk, oregano, paprika and garlic. Stir to coat.

Take a long sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and form it into a bowl by curling up the edges. Heavy duty foil is key here…. don’t use regular old foil. Trust me.

Place your potato and mushroom mix to the foil. Be sure to include the juice from the broth and milk. You’ll need this in order to prevent the potatoes from burning and sticking to the foil.

Chicken Recipes

Place the chicken on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with the green onion. As you can see, I created two chicken and potato pouches, rather then one.

This recipe calls for olives and my hubby HATES olives. I won’t write down his “official name” for what he calls those delicious green gems, but I think you get the picture. I added the green olives to my pouch before I sealed it.

Pull out another piece of foil, big enough to cover your foil bowl(s), and place on top and pinch the edges together to seal. Now you have a nice pouch to steam the food in.

Place your chicken foil packs on the grill for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Always check your food with a meat thermometer. I’m a stickler for that when I cook. I use the MK4 from Thermoworks because it gives the most accurate reading very quickly.

Because I had two smaller pouches, I grilled mine for 30 minutes. Doesn’t this look good?

What resulted was tender, juicy chicken and soft flavor filled potatoes. Just pop it out of the foil and serve with a side salad for a simple summer dinner. The best part? Little to no clean up!!!  Just put the foil in the recyclers and you are done. And the grill stays clean too!

    I’m inspired! Thanks for sharing your technique. We did this many years ago, and I’d forgotten about it. I love the easy clean-up as well as the flavor! It’s nice to have each person get what they want, also (like no green olives) ;-). Found you at One Sharendipity Place.

    mmmm i hear with you regards to turning on the oven in the heat! Manchester’s having its hottest summer for 20 years this year, with temperatures in the high 70s. it NEVER gets this warm in England! & no one has air conditioning but maximum summer temps are usually 55, maybe 60 on a good day. and turning on the oven just makes everything a million times worse! lol, so i’m definitely planning on trying this before the rain comes back! Thank you so much for linking up with me this week at Tasty Tuesdays! I’ve pinned this & shared it with my followers! Please be sure to stop back by the party and check out some of the other links!
