Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/2 lbs. The Little Potato Company's Boomer Gold
  • Extra Virgin Olive oil
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup pesto
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella ball sliced and then cut in half to make 16 pieces
  • 2-3 large roma tomatoes sliced and then cut in half to make 16 pieces
  • Italian seasoning salt and pepper
  • Fresh basil for garnish
  • Heavy duty foil

Instructions
 

  • Heat grill to medium. Meanwhile cut 4 pieces of foil 18x12" and set aside.
  • Cut potatoes in half for large ones or leave the small ones whole and place a quarter of them on each piece of foil.
  • Salt each package and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Slice the chicken crosswise with four slices evenly, careful not to slice all the way through. Place the chicken on top of the potatoes.
  • Spoon approx. 1 tsp. of pesto into each slit. Place a slice of mozzarella and tomato into each slit.
  • Season each breast with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Drizzle each breast with olive oil.
  • Bring the two long ends of the foil up to meet and fold down a few times but not tightly. You want to have air to circulate to cook.
  • Bring up the side inwards so the packs won't leak.
  • Place directly on grill for 30 min. of until chicken reads 165F and potatoes are tender.
  • Remove packs from grill and carefully open as they will be hot.
  • Sprinkle with freshly cut basil if desired.
