Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 8 ounces Water chestnuts, sliced
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 large Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or plastic zip-top bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring even coverage. Reserve the other half for later use. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Prepare four large sheets of aluminum foil (roughly 12x18 inches each). Lightly grease or spray the center of each foil sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade (discarding the used portion). Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.
Top the chicken with equal portions of sliced green onions, sesame seeds, water chestnuts, julienned carrots, and red bell pepper slices.
Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved marinade over the toppings for each chicken packet.
Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet. Be sure to leave a little space inside the packet for steam to circulate.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before carefully opening (be cautious of the hot steam).
Serve the foil-wrapped chicken directly in the packets or transfer to plates. Pair with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
