Foil packet dinners with sausage and vegetables is a delicious and hearty meal that’s super easy to make, and even easier to clean up!
This post is in partnership with al fresco Chicken Sausage. As always, all opinions are my own.
Favorite Foil Packet Dinners
Have you ever made a foil packet dinner before? They are one of my go-to’s on busy nights. I love that I can just quickly assemble them, throw them in the oven, and then have an easy and delicious dinner with almost no effort on my part. The best part is that there’s no clean-up! Just recycle the foil when you’re done, and bask in the joy of your no-dirty-dishes dinner. It doesn’t get any better than that!
How to Make Foil Packet Dinners
To make my foil packet dinners especially tasty, I love using al fresco fully cooked chicken sausage. It’s all natural, comes in a variety of delicious flavors, and is easy to swap into recipes calling for chicken breast. It adds a ton of delicious of flavor, and makes cooking dinner easier!
This sausage and vegetable foil pack dinner could not be easier to make! You’ll start by washing and preparing all of your vegetables, and slicing the chicken sausage into 1/2 inch slices. Next, toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings.
Cut a square of foil, then layer 1/4 of the vegetable mixture and one of the sliced sausages in the middle of the foil. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
The easiest way that I’ve found to make a foil pack is to fold up all four sides of the foil around the vegetables and sausage, almost like a box. Once they are all folded up, push the tops together, and roll down to seal the packet. You’ll want it to be sealed well so that the vegetables can steam, and none of the flavors can escape.
Roll up all of the foil packets, then place them on a baking sheet. If you’d prefer, you can easily cook these foil pack dinners on a grill instead. They should take about the same amount of time (around 25 minutes).
Be very careful opening your foil pack dinner when it’s finished cooking, because it will be steamy and hot! Since the sausage and the vegetables heat together, the flavors mix wonderfully. These foil pack dinners are so flavorful and delicious! They’re easy to make, and perfect for a busy night!

I love how easy this is to make!! Perfect for busy nights!
I totally agree!
Whoever invented foil packets needs to win a Nobel Prize, I swear. They are so easy to make and clean up is even easier. Sausage and peppers are my favorite so this recipe was perfect for me! Definitely going to make these again!
I’m with you…sausage and peppers are the best!
I just used the sausage that I had on hand – not this brand – but it was still so yummy! Great quick idea. Kids loved it especially.
I’m so glad you guys loved it!
