Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 4 small baby potatoes
- 1 medium carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the baby potatoes into quarters and slice the carrot into thin rounds.
Lay a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Make sure it is big enough to wrap all the ingredients into a packet.
Place the chicken breast in the center of the foil. Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and broccoli florets around the chicken breast.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the oil mixture over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the chicken and vegetables.
Fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing it tightly to create a packet. Be sure to leave some room inside for steam to circulate during cooking.
Place the foil packet on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully open the foil packet (watch out for the hot steam), and transfer the chicken and vegetables to a plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
