Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
- Divide the potatoes and any juices among the foil sheets, mounding them in the middle. Top evenly with the shallots, thyme and lemon wedges. Top each mound with a chicken breast. Brush the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold to seal, then fold in the sides.
- Grill the foil packets seam-side up, 8 minutes. Flip the foil packet, gently press down and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 6 more minutes.

Steps:
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with garlic-herb blend; place 1 breast on each sheet of foil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the dressing over each breast.
- In medium bowl, place remaining 1/4 cup dressing. Stir in potatoes, carrots and green beans. Divide vegetables among chicken breasts. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
- Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 25 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 15 to 20 minutes longer or until potatoes are fork-tender and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (165°F).
- To serve, cut large X across top of each pack; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.
- To make in oven, place packs on cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. You can also use chicken tenderloins if you prefer.
- Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help it stay moist and juicy while it cooks.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to potatoes, you can also add other vegetables to your foil packs, such as carrots, celery, onions, or bell peppers.
- Season the vegetables. Don't forget to season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before adding them to the foil packs.
- Seal the foil packs tightly. This will help to keep the juices in and prevent the food from drying out.
- Cook the foil packs over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken and vegetables from burning.
- Check the chicken for doneness. Once the chicken is cooked through, it will no longer be pink in the center. You can use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Conclusion:
Grilled chicken and potato foil packs are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for camping and picnics.
