Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Yellow squash
• 12 small Baby potatoes
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 4 large pieces Foil sheets

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash into thin strips. Cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced vegetables and potatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with half the salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 5

Place each chicken breast on a large piece of foil. Drizzle the chicken with the remaining olive oil and season both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

Step 6

Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the four foil sheets, arranging the vegetables around each chicken breast.

Step 7

Sprinkle each packet with grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic.

Step 8

Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create individual packets.

Step 9

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet if cooking in the oven or directly on the grill grates if grilling.

Step 10

Bake or grill for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 11

Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 12

Serve the chicken packets hot, straight from the foil, for a fun and mess-free meal.
