For the BBQ sauce: Making your own BBQ sauce is easy and delicious, and will take only a few minutes to make.

Then, pre-heat the grill to a medium high heat.
Make 4 pretty foil parcels – place one chicken breast on each pair of foil sheets, season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Brush each chicken breast with your homemade BBQ sauce.
Arrange vegetables around each chicken breast, season.
Drizzle chicken and vegetables with olive oil.
Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken, cover, and seal parcels.
Grill for 35 minutes. Turn once, check that the chicken is cooked through and let it rest.
