A simple yet flavorful chicken dish cooked in foil packets, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right temperature for baking.
Cut four 10-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Using heavy-duty foil prevents tearing and ensures the packets hold up during cooking.
Drizzle a bit of olive oil onto each foil square and spread it evenly.
This prevents the chicken from sticking to the foil.
Place a chicken breast in the center of each foil square.
Position the chicken centrally to allow even cooking and space for the vegetables.
Sprinkle the chicken with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Seasoning the chicken directly enhances its flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped red onion, bell pepper, tomatoes, and dried parsley.
Mixing the vegetables ensures even distribution of flavors.
Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Distribute the vegetables evenly to ensure each packet has a balanced mix.
Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to form packets.
Sealing the packets well traps steam and flavors inside.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Baking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Carefully open the packets, being cautious of the hot steam, and serve directly from the foil.
Serving from the foil adds a rustic touch and makes cleanup easier.
