Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound Asparagus spears
- 1 pound Baby red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the baby red potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.
Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12 inches long.
Place one chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil.
Divide the potato pieces and asparagus spears evenly among the four foil packets, arranging them around the chicken.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each chicken breast and its accompanying vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over each chicken breast and vegetables.
Fold the sides of each piece of foil to create a sealed packet, ensuring no steam can escape during cooking.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
Carefully open each foil packet—be cautious of the hot steam—and garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve each packet with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the chicken and vegetables before eating.
