Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 sheets aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.

Step 3

Lightly coat each piece of foil with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place one chicken breast on the center of each foil sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 7

Divide the broccoli florets evenly and layer them on top of each chicken breast.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli on each packet.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the broccoli and cheese layers.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the chicken to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent leaks.

Step 11

Place the chicken packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 12

Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the broccoli is tender.

Step 13

Carefully open the packets (be cautious of steam!) and transfer the contents to a plate.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken Broccoli Packets!
