Ingredients

  • 1 12-16 oz andoullie sausage cut into 2" chunks
  • 2-3 chicken breasts trimmed of fat, chopped into 1" chunks
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby/little potatoes halved (or quartered, if they're on the bigger side)
  • 1 lb fresh green beans washed & trimmed
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 4 tbsp butter melted & cooled

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl, then toss them together until evenly combined.
  • Create 4 8x8" aluminum foil sheets, and arrange them on a large baking sheet.
  • Divide the seasoned chicken and vegetable mixture out evenly between the foil sheets, spooning into the middle of each sheet.
  • Fold each sheet in half to close, then fold them down and crimp the edges to completely seal.
  • Bake at 425℉ for 20-25 minutes.
  • Let them rest for 5 minutes before peeling opening and serving.

Notes

  • Be sure your foil packets are sealed completely to close. If they aren't the steam won't build up properly and they won't cook through.
  • Make sure to carefully open the cooked foil packets. The trapped steam is very hot and can easily burn you if you aren't careful.
  • If you want things more spicy, add a little extra seasoning. For a less spicy version, use less Cajun seasoning.
