CHICKEN VEGGIE PACKETS
People think I went to a lot of trouble when I serve these packets. Individual aluminum foil pouches hold in the juices during baking to keep the herbed chicken moist and tender. The foil saves time and makes cleanup a breeze. -Edna Shaffer, Beulah, Michigan

Tips:
- Choose your vegetables wisely: Select vegetables that cook evenly and have similar cooking times. Some great options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, and potatoes.
- Season your vegetables: Before adding them to the foil packets, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
- Wrap the packets tightly: To prevent the packets from opening during cooking, fold the edges of the foil up tightly. You can also use a double layer of foil for extra protection.
- Cook the packets over medium heat: This will help to prevent the vegetables from burning. If you are using a grill, cook the packets over indirect heat.
- Let the packets rest before opening: Once the packets are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before opening. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the vegetables.

Chicken and veggie packets are a healthy and delicious way to cook a meal. They are easy to prepare and can be cooked on the grill, in the oven, or even on the campfire. Plus, they are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
