Description

This dish is magic. I’ve read a lot about cooking chicken in tin foil and throwing in a bunch of vegetables, but I couldn’t really find a recipe that I actually wanted to follow. Therefore, I resulted to the lazy way out and just chopped up what I had in my fridge–and magic. Incredibly healthy and delicious magic.

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Chicken Breasts, Boneless And Skinless
  • ½ cups Baby Carrots
  • 2 whole Parsnips
  • 1 whole Large Zucchini
  • 3 whole Scallions
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Light Butter
  • 3 pinches Dried Rosemary
  • 3 pinches Dried Thyme
  • 1 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Pepper

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rinse and trim three chicken breasts.
Salt and pepper each breast to taste. (I mostly like this because it looks pretty after cooking.)
Peel and chop the parsnips.
Chop the baby carrots in half.
Slice the zucchini and cut each circle into quarters.
Chop the scallions.
Spray a very large piece of foil with Pam. Put one chicken breast in the middle. Cover with 1/3 of the veggies.
Add one chopped scallion and a pinch more salt and pepper.
Dot with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
Combine 1 pinch of each thyme and rosemary and 1/3 of the paprika.
Sprinkle on the chicken breast.
Close the tin foil into a pouch, and repeat for the other two chicken breasts.
Place on a pan and into the oven. Cook for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Open the packet and serve! Each serving is around 250-300 calories, depending upon the size of the chicken breast and amount of veggies.

This is a fun one for kids to help out with…and they will eat their veggies if they get to choose which ones go into the packets. I have used potatoes in this, cubed and appropriately seasoned; or add frozen green beans. Yum!
