  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Seasonings and Oil

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) to prepare for baking the foil packets.
  2. Prepare Foil Sheets: Tear 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, ensuring each is large enough to wrap the chicken and vegetables securely.
  3. Assemble Potatoes: Evenly divide the halved baby potatoes among the center of each foil sheet to create a base layer.
  4. Add Chicken and Veggies: Place one chicken breast on top of the potatoes on each sheet, then add the cherry tomatoes, sliced zucchini, and broccoli florets evenly over the chicken.
  5. Season and Oil: Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over each packet. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken and vegetables to enhance flavor.
  6. Seal Foil Packets: Fold the foil tightly over the contents and seal to create individual packets, ensuring no steam escapes during cooking.
  7. Bake: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 30–35 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  8. Serve: Carefully open the packets, watching for hot steam. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese or fresh basil on top before serving for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Cut vegetables evenly to ensure consistent cooking throughout the packet.
  • For crispier vegetables, open the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking and broil briefly.
  • This recipe is also great for grilling; cook the foil packets over medium heat for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
