For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to each packet. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference. Diced onions, zucchini, or mushrooms would also be delicious additions. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent cooking. To prevent sticking, lightly spray the inside of the foil with cooking spray before adding the ingredients.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepCenter 2 chicken breast halves on each sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Spoon 1/4 cup barbecue sauce over each piece of chicken. Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 of the corn and bell pepper. (10 minutes)
03
StepBring up the foil sides. Double-fold the top and ends to tightly seal the packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make 2 packets. (5 minutes)
04
StepCook the packets, covered, on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 18 to 22 minutes. Alternatively, bake the packets on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (20 minutes)
05
StepCarefully open the packets, allowing steam to escape, by cutting along the top fold with a sharp knife. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)
