Italian Chicken and Vegetable Packet
These individual, self-contained chicken meals are stuffed with whole foods and Italian spices to make dinner fun to make and eat. Give it your own spin by adding other vegetables such as peppers, cherry tomatoes, and olives.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 medium potato, scrubbed and diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 carrot, sliced
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or oregano
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Tear off two sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil or parchment paper, about 12 inchs each. Fold the foil or parchment paper in half. Unfold and spray with cooking spray.
- Center 4 ounces of chicken breast on each sheet. Top each with zucchini, potato, onion, carrots, mushrooms, and other vegetables you like. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on the chicken and vegetables.
- Bring two sides of the parchment together over the food. Holding the edges, fold them over together to create a seal. Keep folding until you get almost to your ingredients. Keeping the part you folded together, seal the sides by folding those edges together. Crease the sides to make sure the packet doesn’t leak.
- Place the packet on a cookie sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, until chicken and vegetables are tender.
Makes four servings.
