Chicken Pizza Packets Ingredients
Chicken– You will need 1 pound of chicken breasts, which should be about 2-3 chicken breasts.
Olive oil– Use 2 tablespoons of olive oil to help coat everything well.
Pepperoni– Adding in a small package of pepperoni will give us a stronger pizza flavor. I used a 5-ounce bag of mini pepperoni.
Bell Pepper- Use 1 green bell pepper that has been diced into smaller pieces.
Onion– You’ll want one small onion that has been diced.
Zucchini– Chop a zucchini into bite-sized pieces and use it in the packets for added moisture and color.
Seasonings– For delicious flavor, you will need 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Cherry tomatoes- Use 1 cup of cherry tomatoes that have been halved.
Cheese- A pizza is best with cheese, so make sure to use 1/2 cup each of shredded mozzarella and shredded parmesan cheese.
How to Make Chicken Pizza Foil Packets
Combine
In a large bowl, combine everything except the tomatoes and cheese.
Assemble

Place 1/4 of the mixture in the center of each piece and fold the foil over the mixture, sealing tightly at the top of each packet.
Cook

If you prefer to use the oven, bake at 425F for 15-20 minutes.
Add

Seal loosely and grill (or bake) for 2-3 more minutes, until cheese is melted.

How long does it take to grill foil packets?
Your packets will take about 15-20 minutes to grill, but the time will truly depend upon the size of your cut chicken and veggies. Smaller pieces will cook more quickly. You want the veggies to be fork-tender and the chicken to be fully cooked so that it registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
What if my chicken turns out dry?
Smother it in sauce! Adding some red pasta sauce or pizza sauce over the top of the chicken after it has finished cooking can help to hide any dry or overcooked chicken, and it pairs nicely with the flavors we have going on too!
