Dancer^'s Note:

Here's a barbecued chicken meal that's oh-so-easy to prepare, the chicken, potatoes and peppers all cook together in one big foil packet.

• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 green pepper , cut into strips
• 1 sweet red pepper , cut into strips
• 4 small baking potatoes or 12 new potatoes , thinly sliced
• ¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

3. Place one piece of the foil on a cookie sheet.
4. Spoon half of the barbecue sauce on the center of the foil.
5. Layer the chicken, green and red peppers and potatoes on top.
6. Sprinkle with the black pepper.

9. Seal edges with double folds.

Ahah! Found another winner by Dancer! OMG, Girl, this chicken recipe is fantastic. It's really easy to toss together and bake. I did add a few onion slices on top of the mix, otherwise, followed your directions. It turned out really good. Thanks for sharing such a neat recipe! Laudee C.

My husband wasn't as crazy about this as I was, but I really liked it.

This was very easy and tasted very good...I would probably next time use a different sauce than bbq -- maybe an Asian style ponzu or something for a different flavor. Thanks for sharing!
