BBQ Chicken and Cheddar Dinner

We've been cooking in foil on the BBQ a lot this summer. I've been making individual packets for each person. That way everyone gets exactly what they want and Annika thinks it's really cool to make her own! You can be creative and do just about anything, this is one of our favorites! This recipe makes enough for 4 packets.

8 Tbsp BBQ Sauce
4 chicken breasts
2 unpeeled red potatoes, thinly sliced
1 green onion, finely chopped
1red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 yellow pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Place in a double lined piece of foil, sprayed with cooking spray, 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce. Place one chicken breast over the sauce and spread another Tbsp BBQ sauce on top. Top with a quarter of the potato, bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle with salt and peper. Fold foil to cover contents leaving enough room for air to circulate. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make three more packets. Place directly on BBQ that is set to med-low heat (about 350). BBQ for 30-40 minutes. DO NOT FLIP! Open foil packets carefully and sprinkle with cheese. Close BBQ and heat until cheese is melted.
