Hi guys! How was your day? Mine absolutely flew by – per usual this week!
Hey, remember those genius foil packet dinners my sister-in-law had ready for us on Mother’s Day? We re-created tonight to make Chicken, Vegetable & Potato Grill Packets!
Packet mix-ins included:
- Sliced potatoes
- Cubed chicken breasts
- Green beans
- Mushrooms (for Ben!!)
- Water chestnuts
- Mini corns – which were more like full corn on the cob – Holy cow they were huge!
First I took a sheet of heavy-duty foil and sprayed it with non-stick spray. Next I layered on the potatoes, chicken, mini corn, water chestnuts and green beans. My “sauce” was some light Italian dressing, a couple little pats of butter and some Veggie Grill seasonings – yummm!!!!
I topped it all off with ~4 small ice cubs and sealed my packet up tight – no steam saw the sweet light of day from this packet!!
I also made a packet of just potatoes with some butter and Lowry’s Seasoning Salt.
Ben wanted to show you his masterpiece too 
His looks better than mine!
We put the packets on the grill set at medium-low for about 10 minutes, then rotated them 180 degrees and let them grill for another 10 minutes. Remove the packets from the grill, carefully open and packets are up!
Oh my gosh – SO great! So flavorful, so easy and so delish! The sauce thickens a little bit as the packet cools off…just amazing. This would also be really good over some chewy, brown rice.
The potatoes were so crunchy and satisfying…but what carby, buttery, salty dish isn’t??
The BEST part?? No cleanup! Only forks to put in the dishwasher – wheee!!! The SECOND best part? You could make this anyway YOU want! Make it sea-worthy by using shrimp or salmon – make it vegetarian by adding some broccoli and asparagus – make it for the carnivore in you by using filet mignon. The customized possibilities are endless, people!
I also cut up a few kiwi for us. Keeeweee…
Time to clean my house – I have guests coming over tomorrow!!

What would you put in your foil packet dinner??
Those little foil pockets sound like such a great idea! I’d have sir fry veggies (like little corns, water chestnuts, green beans, carrots, onions), and salmon in my foil packet. maybe some kind of grain, too.
yum! looks so delicious! i love easy, yummy meals with little to no cleanup!
I love this dinner!! Baby corn is one of my favorite veggies
Looks great! I make potato packets on the grill all the time – super easy and delicious. I do sliced potato, grated carrotsa and onion, garlic salt, pepper and a few small pats of butter. Amazing. Sometimes I”ll pre-boil the potatoes or microwave them a bit in water to make them cook faster on the grill. Yum – I want some now!
What an awesome idea! i love it! I would put: kabocha, sweet potato, salmon, bell peppers, red onions, goat cheese!
Thanks for this idea! I see some sweet potato, kabocha, carrots, pepper, and fish in a foil packet in my weekend. The ice cube trick is genius; would not have figured that out on my own.
YUM! just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the ice cubes?
What a great grilling meal – I think I’ll try it with some salmon soon!
Yum!! I love foil packet meals!! I’ve tried chicken, rotel, zucchini, and mozerella cheese! Super delish!!
What a great looking meal. I love how you always cut everything so neatly!
I love foil packet dinners!
My favorite is chicken or tilapia, corn on the cob, carrots, onion, potatoes, and bell pepper.
SO YUM!
ooh I just made a grill packet last week and we were talking tonight about how good it was!!! love your addition of ice cubes & I also enjoy crunchy water chestnuts!
Oh yum! We love to cook veggies on the grill that way. Especially potatoes. They just taste so good!
Whoops – that would have been helpful info huh?? It helps steams the vegetables & chicken!
