Description
Healthy and flavorful chicken veggie packets baked in foil for easy cleanup and maximum taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and pat the chicken breasts dry. Trim any excess fat. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Slice the bell peppers and zucchini into even pieces.
- Place one chicken breast on each piece of foil. Divide the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini evenly between the two packets. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each packet, sprinkle with garlic powder, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create sealed packets; crimp the edges tightly. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Carefully open the packets, let them rest for 1–2 minutes, then spoon the vegetables and juices over the chicken before serving.
Notes
Serve with a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of parsley and pair with rice or bread for a complete meal.
