Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup Progresso™ reduced sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 cup uncooked instant white rice
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut in thin strips (1 cup)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced on the bias, whites and greens separated
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 tablespoon black or white sesame seed
  • Lime wedges

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Place melted butter in medium bowl; set aside. In large bowl, mix brown sugar, soy sauce, oil, chile garlic sauce and ginger. Stir 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture into the butter; reserve.

    Meanwhile, add chicken to reserved brown sugar-butter mixture; turn to coat. Place chicken breast on center of each sheet of foil. Spoon rice and vegetable mixture evenly around each chicken breast. Pour any remaining liquid over chicken breasts.
  • 5
    Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • 6
    Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 7 to 10 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Remove packs from grill; cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil; garnish with green onion greens, cilantro and sesame seed. Serve with lime wedges.

    To make in oven, place packs on cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F 30 to 35 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Garnish and serve as directed above.
