Foil packet dinners provide an easy way to cook an entire meal all at once without using any pots or pans—just don't get carried away.

Foil pack meals can be cooked on the grill or in the oven, just adjust the cook time accordingly to ensure that chicken hits the right internal temperature. These flavor-filled packs will become your weeknight choice for a kid-friendly meal that comes together in under an hour.
