Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb of diced chicken, beef, or sausage (or a vegetarian alternative)
- 2 medium potatoes, sliced thin
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: mushrooms, corn, cheese, herbs, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Slice the potatoes, bell peppers, and onions into thin, uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Season your choice of protein with salt, pepper, and minced garlic, then drizzle with olive oil for added flavor.
- Lay out large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the prepared ingredients in the center of each sheet, creating individual portions. Spray the foil with cooking spray if desired.
- Wrap the ingredients tightly, folding edges to seal securely. Add cheese or herbs before sealing for extra flavor if desired.
- Preheat your grill or oven to about 400°F (200°C). Place the foil packets on the grill grates or on a baking sheet in the oven.
- Cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping or shaking the packets halfway through to ensure even cooking. Carefully open the packets to check for steam and doneness.
Notes
- Select firm vegetables like potatoes and peppers to prevent sogginess.
- Adjust cooking time based on ingredient size and cooking method.
- Experiment with seasonings such as paprika, cumin, or herbs to customize flavors.
- Slicing ingredients thin speeds up cooking and ensures they cook evenly.
