a NO clean up dinner :)

cooking in tin foil packets is quick, easy and there is virtually NO clean up! You can just throw everything together and forget about it. I decided to make a dinner using all tin foil packets...

Honey Dijon Chicken, The BEST Ever potatoes, and country corn on the cob! I even used paper plates so there truly was NOclean up :)

Honey Dijon Chicken..

You will need:
4 chicken breasts
1/2 stick butter
1 bottle Lawry's dijon marinade
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon ground mustard
Tin foil

Combine the marinade, softened butter, honey, and mustard. Spray each piece of tinfoil with a non-stick spray. Place chicken in the packet and cover each breast equally with sauce. Pinch the packet shut, place on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for one hour.

After the chicken is in the oven move on to the BEST potatoes EVER. super quick and easy!

4 large potatoes, diced
4 pads of butter
8 ice cubes
garlic powder
italian seasoning

Dice each potato and place it in a tinfoil packet. (Spray the foil with non stick spray!) place a pad of butter on each packet (about a tablespoon or so) sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and italian seasoning, top with 2 ice cubes and close up the packets. Place them in the oven on a baking sheet. Pop them in the oven with the chicken for 45 minutes.

The chicken and potatoes are in the oven, now move on to the corn. Aaron and I literally ate this almost every night over the summer when corn on the cob was available everywhere!
This recipe was a series of trial and error after a summer of eating “Aw Shucks” corn at fairs and baseball games. Aaron and I both love it, so I had to come up with a way to make it at home. The ingredients sound a little crazy… but the end result is AMAZING!

4 ears of corn on the cob, cleaned and strings removed

½ cup mayonnaise

4 tablespoons softened butter

1 tablespoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons season all

1 teaspoon sugar

Grated parmesan cheese to desired pastey consistency

Mix together all the ingredients in small bowl. This should form a thick paste. Taste, add more seasoning as needed. If it is too thick, add more butter, if it is too thin add more grated cheese.

Place each ear of corn in foil. Coat each cob with the mixture on BOTH sides. Seal the foil packets tightly and bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. 

In an hour you have an amazing meal with virtually NO clean up! Enjoy!!!
