How to Make

  • Step 1: Cut 4 large rectangles of heavy duty aluminum foil.

  • Step 2: Combine first 5 ingredients (this can optionally be done in a blender).

  • Step 3: Brush the 4 large rectangles of aluminum foil with olive oil. Place chicken in center; brush with lemon/garlic mixture, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, then lightly dust with garlic powder. Place/tuck 1 pat (1 tablespoon) butter under the skin of each breast.

  • Step 4: Place a slice of onion and a sprig of parsley over each. Fold up aluminum into a loose, square packet and crimp edges tightly to seal well. Place packets in a shallow baking dish.

  • Step 5: Grill until cooked through (cooking time will depend on the size of each chicken piece). Or you can oven bake 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until your chicken is done.
