Drizzle the honey-lime sauce evenly over each packet.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey-lime mixture for 15–30 minutes before cooking.

Use any seasonal veggies you have—snap peas, green beans, or mushrooms are great options.

These packets can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook.
