Foil-Packet Lemon Chicken with Fingerling Potatoes

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 1/2 lbs. fingerling potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 lemons (1 juiced, 1 cut into 4 wedges)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 shallots, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 8 sprigs thyme

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 18-inch long sheets of heavy-duty foil on a work surface. Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes, lemon juice, 3 tbsp. olive oil, 2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a large bowl.

  2. Divide the potatoes and any juices among the foil sheets, mounding them in the middle. Top evenly with the shallot, thyme and lemon wedges. Top each mound with a chicken breast. Brush the chicken with the remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold to seal, then fold in the sides.

  3. Grill the foil packets seam-side up, 8 minutes. Flip the foil packet, gently press down and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 6 more minutes.
