BBQ Chicken Pockets

I love this recipe because it's so easy - little prep, not much to watch, and few dishes!

2 chicken fillets
1 large potato
1 small onion
2 carrots (or 8-10 baby carrots)
About 1 1/2 cups of your choice of barbecue sauce (I use Sweet Baby Rays, but you can even use a mixture of sauces you have on hand if you'd like)
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of garlic powder
2 large sheets of aluminum foil

Serves: 2

Peel, wash, a chunk your potatoes. Peel, wash, and slice your carrots into circles about 1/4 in. thick. Remove onion skin and cut into wedges (cut into eighths).

On aluminum foil, squirt some barbecue sauce (about 2 tbs., but don't get too hung up on measurements on this one - just have fun with it!) and then place half of your potato chunks and one chicken fillet.



Sprinkle on spices and add more sauce. Then add half of your onions and then half of the carrots - you want the items that will take the longest (i.e. carrots and potatoes) on the outside, towards the heat. Sprinkle some more spices and top with more sauce.


Then wrap up your pocket. Take the long edges and pull them up toward the ceiling, touch them together and then roll them down. Roll the other two ends in towards the ingredients and Viola! Pockets!

Follow the same instructions for the second one.

Place on a high heated grill. After about 10 minutes, flip pockets and lower heat to medium. In total these will take about an hour to cook - about 30 minutes after the first flip, flip again and leave heat at same temperature.

By squeezing the pockets with gloves you should be able to get a feel for if they're done by how squishy it is, if it's super squishy it's done. This can be hard to tell though, so unroll and poke the potatoes and chicken to see if they're done. Potatoes will be soft all the way through and chicken will be while all the way through.

Serve.

Yum!! Food Play On!

Other Options/In Case of Emergency:
If you don't have potatoes, you can use sweet potatoes, instead.
Don't have carrots? Swap out for another veggie (or just have fun with it and mix it up!) Use zucchini, squash, corn, or whatever you like! You can try peppers, but they tend to be a strong flavor once cooked, so beware the flavor may spread to the other food.
Use any kind of barbecue sauce - and if you really like sauce, add some more! If you don't like it that much, just be sure there is enough to cook fully. If you take out too much things will begin to stick to the foil, but no huge issues.
