Some recipes instantly take you to a place where life feels a little slower, sweeter, and full of sunshine\u2014and for me, that place is always summer. A few years ago, during a family picnic near the lake, someone brought foil packets filled with chicken, pineapple, and veggies. I didn\u2019t expect much, but one bite was enough to make me stop mid-conversation. The chicken was tender, the pineapple was warm and juicy, and the whole packet tasted like a little vacation wrapped in foil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ever since that day, I\u2019ve been in love with foil-packet meals. They\u2019re simple, mess-free, and somehow always come out perfectly cooked.
