  • Tear off 4-6 large rectangles of HEAVY DUTY aluminum foil. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between them, keeping the mixture in the middle of the foil sheets.
  • Fold the foil over the chicken mixture lengthwise to evenly cover the meat mixture, then fold it along the long edge to close. Roll up the edges to seal the packets.
  • Arrange the foil packets on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake at 425 for 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Carefully open the packets, being sure to avoid the escaping hot steam. Top with green onions and chow mein noodles.

Notes

  • Use any barbecue sauce you like. To really up the Hawaiian feel, you could look for a Hawaiian style barbecue sauce or marinade.
  • You can vary the veggies to suit your tastes and preferences.
  • For some heat, use a spicy barbecue sauce or add a diced jalapeno into the mixture.
