Chicken with Cheesy Veggies Foil Pack

Can I get a “heck yes!” for foil pack dinners?? Or as some lovingly call them, the “Hobo Dinner” method?!

I mean, come on, all your protein and veggies inside foil with virtually no cleaning when your finished? Someone deserves some major recognition for dreaming this up. It’s not me but I wish it were!

Bariatric patients – keep a good stash of foil pack dinners in your recipe box. Cook up 4 at a time and then you have three more meals ready packed for later in your week. Protein? Check. Veggies? Check. Feeling awesome? Check, check!

Here’s a list of some of my favorite foil pack dinners:
