Tip 6. Grill delicate foods in packets. Making dinner on the grill doesn’t automatically mean charbroiled meat and corn on the cob. Packet cooking lets you cook all sorts of foods on the grill. Put out a variety of vegetables (bell peppers, onion, snap peas, corn, etc.) and seasonings and let each member of the family design his or her own packet. Just center the ingredients on a large sheet of aluminum foil, add a little olive oil or broth, then fold up the sides, leaving some room for steam to circulate inside. Set the packets on the grill. This strategy works particularly well for delicate or quick-cooking foods, such as fish and boneless chicken breast. Even lean meats stay tender.
