Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces small red potatoes
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 cup green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 sheets heavy-duty aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the red potatoes into quarters and trim the ends off the green beans. Set aside.
Lay out 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12x12 inches in size.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil onto the center of each foil sheet.
Place one chicken breast in the center of two sheets of foil. Divide the potatoes, carrots, and green beans evenly between the two packets, arranging them around the chicken.
Sprinkle each chicken breast and vegetables with half a teaspoon of garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Top each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of butter, placing it on the chicken for extra flavor and moisture.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the top of the vegetables.
Fold the foil sheets into secure packets by bringing the opposite edges together and sealing them with tight crimps to ensure no steam escapes during cooking.
Place the packets onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the packets from the oven using oven mitts and allow them to rest for 2 minutes before carefully opening the foil (watch out for hot steam).
Serve the foil packets hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.
