HEALTHY GRILLED CHICKEN-AND-RICE FOIL PACKS
If you're looking to grill something besides burgers and dogs on your next campout, this low-fat chicken dinner will do the trick. Be sure to use converted rice instead of regular for this recipe (each grain contains tiny pinholes so it cooks faster than conventional rice). If you're in the wilderness, wash out your pie dish after dinner and use it to pan for gold.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium heat.
- Put the chicken, beans, rice, salsa, pickled jalapenos, tomato paste, chili powder, turmeric and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and toss to combine. Divide the chicken-rice mixture evenly among the pie pans, spreading it out in an even layer. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth into each pie pan.
- Cover each pan tightly with foil. Put the pans on the grill, close the grill lid and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
- Carefully remove the foil from each pan (hot steam will escape). The liquid should be absorbed, the rice tender and the chicken cooked through. Sprinkle each with some scallions.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL
To make your evening meal go faster, prep these chicken and vegetable packets early in the day and refrigerate until it's time to pop in the oven. This cooking time will yield nicely done chicken and vegetables with a little texture. If you prefer your vegetables softer, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and cook about 15 minutes longer. For the summer, this recipe will also adapt to the grill-just be sure to use a grill thermostat for best results.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose the Right Vegetables: Select vegetables that cook evenly and have similar cooking times. Some good options include zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes.
- Cut Vegetables Uniformly: Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. This will also help them look more appealing when they're served.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to grilled chicken and vegetables. If you have them on hand, use them liberally.
- Don't Overcrowd the Grill: When grilling chicken and vegetables, make sure you don't overcrowd the grill. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will also make it more difficult to flip them.
- Baste Regularly: Basting chicken and vegetables with a flavorful marinade or sauce will help keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
- Let the Chicken Rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Grilled chicken and vegetable packs are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy a summer meal. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious grilled meal on the table in no time. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
