Kids on the grill: BBQ chicken and veggie packets
by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home
My two older kids learned how to make "campfire packs" in their respective Brownie/Cub Scout troops. I remember loving these when I was a kid because it was MAGIC to cook your entire dinner in one packet and EVEN MORE MAGIC to do it over a fire. My kids are no different, they are obsessed with cooking things in foil packets. (Is there a foil packet cookbook" If there isn't, one of you should cash in and make that MAGIC happen.)
We don't have a campfire in our backyard but we do have a grill. Since today was the last full day of school, I decided to let the kids make these to celebrate. Besides the grilling, they did everything themselves. They cut the foil, arranged the chicken and veggies, sprinkled with seasoning, squirted with barbecue sauce and drizzled with olive oil. Then they wrapped everything up tightly and I threw them on the grill. One turn and 20 min later and they were perfect. We loved that the barbecue sauce flavors the veggies -- just a touch -- but it really adds to this. This would be a great thing to do with kids over Memorial Day Weekend!
