Print Recipe
This recipe for chicken foil packets is an easy and mess-free way to make cheesy chicken and potatoes in the oven, on the grill, or over a campfire.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 chicken breasts cut lengthwise into 4 pieces each
  • 1.8 pound bag Petite Red Potatoes cut potatoes in half
  • ½ yellow onion finely chopped
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 6 strips bacon cooked and chopped
  • 3 cups colby jack cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup chives chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rip 4 long pieces of foil, and fold each piece in half to make it stronger and prevent leaks. Set aside.
  2. Place the cut Petite Red Potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat and allow to cook for 6 minutes. Drain potatoes, return to pot, and let cool.

  3. Add chicken pieces, chopped onions, melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat all pieces of chicken and potatoes.
    3 chicken breasts, ½ yellow onion, 6 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  4. Place about 1 1⁄2 cups of potatoes in each foil packet (you’ll want to divide the potatoes equally between the 4 foil packs), top with 4 chicken pieces. Bring up the two lengthwise pieces of foil and fold over to seal. Roll the two edges of foil together. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken juices run clear.
  6. Remove from the oven and open each chicken packet. Drain the liquid from each packet and place the packet back down on the baking sheet, still open.
  7. Divide the colby jack cheese evenly between each packet and sprinkle directly on top of the chicken. Add cooked and chopped bacon to the tops of the cheese and place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
