Presentation Packets

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Presentation packets, as I call them, are one dish meals wrapped in foil and cooked on the grill. They're perfect for summer entertaining. You can even arrange all the uncooked food on platters, then let your guests pick and choose what they want for dinner.

For best results, read How to Make Presentation Packets. Then get out the heavy-duty foil, fire up the grill, and have fun!

Presentation Packets

  • Glazed Drumsticks with Veggie Packet
    A combination of pineapple preserves and chili sauce glazes tender chicken drumsticks in this delicious dinner.
  • Cheddar Burger Veggie Packets
    I usually like to cook burgers directly on the grill, but this recipe is different. Tender hamburgers cook on top of vegetables, giving them extra flavor.
  • Grilled Burger Dinner Packets
    Potatoes from a mix cook to perfection underneath tender beef burgers in this simple recipe.
  • Chuckwagon Packets
    Marinated steak cooks along with potatoes and other vegetables in a hearty sauce in this easy recipe.
  • Southwest Pork Packets
    Brown rice combines with garlic, jalapenos, onion, and corn to form the base of this simple packet. Tender pork chops and salsa round it out.
  • Polish Packets
    If you love Polish sausage, this is the packet for you! Sausage cooks with cabbage, potatoes, and onion in a delicious one dish meal.
  • Mexican Fish Packets
    The fresh flavors in this packet are so wonderful. Grape tomatoes, onions, and olives cook in a lime-scented sauce. Yum.
  • Spanish Chicken Packet
    This meal cooks in one large foil bag, not individual packets. But it's still simple and delicious.
  • Grilled Turkey Packets
    Pineapple, green pepper, and onion combine with turkey slices and a rice mix for an easy and wonderful one dish meal.
  • Thai Turkey Packets
    Peanut butter is the secret ingredient in the savory sauce that cooks with turkey tenderloin and vegetables in this easy recipe.
  • Chicken Fruit Packets
    Chicken and fruit is a natural combination. Everybody will love this easy recipe.
  • Pesto Chicken Packets
    This five ingredient recipe is one of my favorites. You could add mushrooms or sliced yellow summer squash to the packets if you'd like.
