Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 4 teaspoons of garam masala, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Lay out four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 12x18 inches each). Place a chicken breast in the center of each sheet and sprinkle both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange the sliced squash and onion on top of the chicken. Drizzle each portion evenly with one-fourth of the olive oil mixture. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Bring up the sides of the foil and double-fold the top and ends to create sealed packets, leaving a little room inside for steam to circulate. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C). (Cook time: 20-25 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully open the packets by cutting along the top fold with a sharp knife, allowing the steam to escape. (Rest time: 2 minutes)

07

Step

To serve, top each portion with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
If you don't have a grill, you can bake the foil packets in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the packets, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving can brighten the flavors of the dish.
If you like a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the olive oil mixture.
