Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons (grated) Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 medium (julienned) Carrot
- 1 medium (julienned) Zucchini
- 1 medium (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 4 stalks (chopped) Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups (optional, for serving) Cooked rice
- 4 sheets (12x12 inches) Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place each chicken breast in the center of a foil sheet.
Brush each piece of chicken generously with the ginger marinade.
Divide the carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, and green onions evenly among the packets, placing the vegetables on top of and around the chicken.
Seal each foil packet by folding the edges together tightly, ensuring no liquid escapes.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully open the foil packets (steam will escape, so be cautious).
Serve each chicken packet directly on a plate or transfer to a bed of cooked rice if desired.
