These flavorful foil packets are one of my family’s favorite quick and easy meals. Each one is filled with juicy chicken and fresh, colorful, seasonal vegetables, all tossed in a delicious citrusy honey sauce and grilled to perfection. Plus, you can eat them right out of the packet, which makes cleanup a breeze.
If you can find them, I recommend using Valencia oranges here, which are available during the summer months. Their sweet-tart flavor makes the sauce irresistible.
Does Grilling Chicken in Foil Keep It Moist?
Yes! Not only do boneless, skinless chicken breasts readily pick up the flavor of everything they’re packed with, but the use of steam also makes them extra tender and juicy.
What you don’t want to do, however, is seal the packets entirely shut, which can cause the vegetables to get mushy instead of tender. Instead, fold up the four sides of the foil to meet over the center, crimp the edges together to seal, and leave one corner open as a vent.
