Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced into thin coins
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (12-inch) aluminum foil, heavy-duty
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Cut 4 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12-inch squares. Lay them flat on a work surface.
Place one chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil.
In a large bowl, combine baby potatoes, broccoli florets, carrots, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the four foil pieces, arranging them around and on top of the chicken breasts.
Seal the foil packets by folding the edges of the foil together tightly, ensuring there are no openings. Leave a little space inside for the heat to circulate.
If baking, place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender. If grilling, place the packets directly on the grill and cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Carefully open the foil packets, as steam will escape. Serve directly from the foil or transfer to plates. Enjoy your simple, healthy foil packet meal!
