Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon  seasoned salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup bacon bits
  • cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup  barbecue sauce divided
  • sliced green onions for garnish
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream  optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium high heat.
  • Prepare foil packets. Lay out 4 large pieces of heavy duty foil then top each with a large piece of parchment paper (or spray with non stick spray).
  • Place equal amounts of sliced potatoes and onions in the middle of each packet. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt and pepper.
  • Place a chicken breast on top of potatoes. Brush each side of each chicken breast with barbecue sauce.
  • Wrap up each foil packet by bringing two sides together and rolling it up. Then roll up each open end to seal the packet.
  • Place on hot grill and cook (potatoes down) for about 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through (chicken should be 165°F).
  • Cut open packet, brush chicken with more barbecue sauce if desired and top with cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Place back on grill (do not reseal) to melt about 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with sour cream and chives.

Notes

Cooking time can vary based on size of chicken breasts and thickness of potatoes.  Ensure your chicken reaches 165°F and your potatoes are softened.
 
Nutrition does not include sour cream.
