Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound peppered bacon
  • 3 medium potatoes, chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • garlic salt to taste

Directions

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until evenly brown. Drain, chop coarsely, and set aside.
  2. On 4 large squares of heavy duty aluminum foil, evenly distribute the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Arrange the chicken breasts over the vegetables, and sprinkle with the chopped bacon. Top each with 2 tablespoons butter, and season with garlic salt. Fold the foil over the ingredients, and tightly seal.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  4. Place foil packets on the grill, and cook for 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
