Oven Foil-Pack Honey Dijon Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Montreal chicken seasoning
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 3/4 lb), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (4 cups)
  • 1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F or heat gas or charcoal grill for direct grilling. Cut 4 (18×12-inch) sheets of foil. In medium bowl, mix melted butter, honey, mustard and seasoning. Add chicken, and turn to coat; set aside.
  2. In large microwavable bowl, microwave sweet potatoes uncovered on High 5 to 7 minutes or until fork tender. Carefully divide potatoes among the 4 pieces of foil. Top with bell pepper chunks. Top each with chicken breast and sauce.
  3. For each packet, bring up 2 sides of foil over chicken and vegetables 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.
  4. If baking, place packets on cookie sheet, and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). If grilling, place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 18 to 20 minutes, rotating packets one-half turn after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).
  5. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil. Top with green onions.
