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.
3

Add chicken broth and instant rice to brown sugar mixture in large bowl; stir and let stand about 8 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed. Stir in bell pepper, carrots and green onion whites.
4

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.
7

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.

Expert Tips
