Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets parchment-lined aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper into thin strips. Halve the baby potatoes. Keep the broccoli florets bite-sized for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Place one chicken breast in the center of each sheet of parchment-lined aluminum foil.
Divide the seasoned vegetables evenly among the four sheets, arranging them around and over each chicken breast.
Fold the aluminum foil over the chicken and vegetables, creating a sealed packet. Be sure the edges are tightly folded to lock in the steam during cooking.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully open each packet (watch out for hot steam!) and serve directly from the foil for easy cleanup, or transfer to a plate as desired.
Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor before serving.
