Chicken Sausage and Vegetable Foil Packets are perfect for the grill. They’re Paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, healthy, and easy!
I haven’t been this excited about a recipe in a long time. For one, it is healthy, balanced, and delicious. But most importantly, it is extremely easy to prepare and cook, which is at the top of my list for important recipe features at 40 weeks pregnant. It is also even better when you have a husband that grills it for you in 90 degree weather. Because clearly I’d rather be sitting in the air conditioning with my feet up! Especially when the fan not spinning on ac unit issue was recently fixed.
Jeremy and I have made this at least three times so far this Summer, and I have found that my favorite veggies to include in the packets are baby potatoes, fresh green beans, onions, and yellow squash. But guess what? You can totally change this up in whatever way you’d like. I’m thinking sweet potatoes, peppers, and zucchini would all work so well in these foil packets.
As for the sausage, feel free to use whatever floats your boat. My personal favorite these days is skinless chicken and apple sausage. I am definitely bothered by strange textures, and sausage casing just really does nothing for me. Plus, the skinless sausages are way easier to cut and prep, so it’s a win-win.
