Grilled Chicken Dinner to Die For

So glad you liked the recipe, @Rupricht — and thanks for sharing your detailed tips!

If you are cooking this yuck in response to your husband’s not being man enough to take you all out for dinner so Mommy can have a rest, think about it.

I just made this with Progresso’s new Recipe Starters (Fire-Roasted Tomato). I added quartered onions, 1/4 ” slices of carrot, quartered new potatoes & whole cloves of garlic. I dusted the vegetables with certain spices (paprika, herbs de provence, etc.) and tossed them lightly in a bowl with safflower oil. Due to the texture of some of the ingredients, I knew that it would take longer to cook. So I spread them in a 11x7x1.5 dish and baked @350-475 for about 35 minutes (depending upon your oven); stirring every ten minutes or so until brown on the edges. To take care of the tin foil issue, I laid down a large sheet of Heavy Duty and placed a slightly smaller piece of parchment paper on top. When the vegetables are done, pour about a 1/2 cup or so of the Progresso Recipe Starter into the pan and mix well. Place the separated chicken pieces in the middle of the parchment, pour the mixed vegetables over them and bring up the sides of the foil; which never touches the meal. Tie the excess at the top with twine, poke a few holes up top and continue to bake @350 for about 15-20 minutes and then cut off the heat to the oven. The bag can sit in the warm oven until dinner. Sorry that this was so long…but it was really good.

I think I’ll try it with a slice of Vidalia onion underneath the chicken.

Well, for sure the chicken died for it.

Hi @bgheart! Thanks for sharing your tip. As for nutrition information, we’re working on updating our site to round out nutrition information for all recipe. In the meantime, you may want to try using an online recipe/calorie calculator to help get a better idea. Hope this helps!

This sounds wonderful! Combine quick with easy an I am sold! I would appreciate a nutrition guide – at least an estimate – for meal planning and diet concerns. I would add some brown rice, and fresh fruit for dessert..

Anyone concerned about aluminum foil could just cook it in parchment paper – or line the foil with parchment..

I can’t help but wonder about some of the comments here. From what I can see this is not a Vegan, super healthy or even vegetarian site. It’s just a regular ol’ recipe site. What’s with all the flipping out about ingredients and methods? Why even go to this site?

Hi all – We checked in with our friends at Reynolds Wrap. They told us that occasionally when aluminum foil comes in contact with a food that is highly salted or acidic, small pinholes are formed in the foil. This is a harmless reaction that does not affect the safety of the food and results in a harmless aluminum salt. Some aluminum salts are used in medicines to treat stomach disorders. The food can be safely eaten; however, the aluminum salt particles can be removed from the food to improve the appearance of the food. This reaction is hard to predict and does not happen every time.

Are you crazy? Cooking chicken in foil. Don’t you know that the foil gets on the chicken and then you eat it and that aluminum is linked to alzheimers??

Yep, headline is correct.. The chicken died first. Then you will when all your arteries clog up from eating animal products. Vegan all the way!

To die for? Interesting choice of words. Yeah, the chicken died. We, as humans should not eat meat. If we were meant to eat meat, like big cats or wolves, we wouldn’t have to cook it. Our stomach Ph would be much lower. Our intestinal tract would be shorter. our jaw structure & chewing would be different. Our liver would be able to detoxify vitamin A. Our urine would be extremely concentrated. Our fingernails would be claws. We would not have to season meat with plants to make it palatable. So I will not die for, or have a chicken die for this dish. Pass the asparagus. Yum.

ummm… no. grilling in or under aluminum foil is an extremely common bbq technique. you’ve never heard of grilled asparagus, wrapped in a poked-through aluminum foil packet??

I would not cook or cover anything in aluminum foil, And progressive soup???

I’m sure you could come up with something better and healthier than this. Remember Reynolds SELLS aluminum foil.

I can’t wait to make this on my new grill this weekend!

Thanks so much!

Looks delicious! How about the family learn to cook for you?

susanrn4kids, Yes! Go for it and let me know how you like it!

Anonymous, Awwwwesome! SO glad it hear it was a success!

I just made this last night in the over – used yellow peppers instead of asparagus because that’s what we had. Oh my gosh – it was so good! I was concerned that the tomato soup would overpower the chicken, but that wasn’t the case at all. Hubby loved it too. I put the cut up chicken in a glass dish, poured about 1/2 can of soup over the entire thing and put the veggies on top. Covered with foil and cooked for about 1/2 hour at 350. The chicken was moist and the peppers were still firm. I can’t wait to try this with an abundance of other veggies – this one is a winner winner, chicken dinner!

I think Ill put all those ingredients in my Crock pot and come in to dinner made! ((: Sounds wonderful!

Is What Aninymous wrote true? About the tomato soup and foil poisoning you?

One problem,,,,,,, Tomato soup is acid and will dissolve the aluminum from the foil and poison you…….. so…… no good!!

Anonymous, I bet you could totally do this over a campfire! Wait, is that what you meant? I might not know what a campfire hot plate is. What is it?!

Anonymous, Ya know, I’m not sure about a raw chicken because I was going for something fast! That’s why I used the rotis. BUT, I bet you if had a raw chicken on had, you could roast it first the traditional way, and THEN add the goodies to it. Does that help!?

can you make this with a raw whole chicken if so how long will it take to cook on grill or in oven

it looks absolutely delicious! do u reckon I can make in on a campfire hot plate?

Jessakittyis, You know, I feel like it would be the exact same in the oven! Maybe 350, 375 for about 20ish minutes? If you experiment with it, let me know how it turns out!

I love this idea but I don’t have a grill. Any suggestions on oven cooking?

Anonymous, oh! ANYTHING you want. Green beans? Zucchini? Squash? Whatever your favorite veggie is!

Looks good, but I don’t like asparagus. Can you suggest a different veggie instead?
