Dinner BBQ

Recipe by: Midwest Dairy Association

This cheddar foil packet meal helps make your dinner-time planning and clean up a snap.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons barbeque sauce
• 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)
• 2 small unpeeled red potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 red or green bell peppers, seeded and sliced
• 1 green onion, finely chopped
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ½ cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Place a foil sheet, approximately 12×12 inches, on a work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the barbeque sauce in the center of the foil. Place one chicken breast half over barbeque sauce and spread another teaspoon of sauce over chicken. Top with quarter of the potato, bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle with a little of the salt and pepper.

Fold foil in half to cover contents; make narrow folds along edges to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients to assemble three more packets. Place the four packets on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes.

Open foil packets with scissors and carefully pull back edges as contents may be very hot. Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the top of each chicken breast and return to oven, unsealed for two minutes or until cheese is melted. With a spatula, transfer the contents of each packet onto individual serving plates.

Substitution Idea

One cost-savings tip is to buy bone-in chicken breasts and remove the skin.
