Time to add another easy recipe to your dinner rotation. Yep,that’s why I’m sharing this Mediterranean Chicken recipe made simple with a little help from Reynolds.
I baked this recipe in individual foil packets. It’s a simple recipe you can even assemble the night before, so that when dinner time comes around you can just throw it into the oven or on the grill.
How easy is that? And it also makes for easy clean up.
Before you start rolling your eyes about food in packets and how it comes out bland and lifeless in appearance, I’m about to tell you – wrong.
This Mediterranean chicken is full of flavor, from the sweet red pepper spread and all the other layerings. If you really want to bump this up, add some Feta cheese to it.
Whatever you do, don’t forget to use Reynolds Non-stick Aluminum Foil. The food-safe coating makes it easy to use for recipes like this and to cover and wrap your dishes without the added hassle of cleanup. And don’t worry, it’s easy to use, the matte side is the non-stick side, but if you forget that, Reynolds has an imprint that reads “NON-STICK Side”.
Easy, easy! Enjoy!

I love foil so much. We use it for everything. It just makes clean up a snap. Totally digging this recipe. I wish I had a few packets in front of me right now.
This sounds incredible, Matt! I use foil for grilling because it makes for such easy clean up. The flavors in this dish are amazing! Can’t wait to try this when we come back from vacation!!
