Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups Pasta sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups Cooked pasta (optional, such as penne or spaghetti)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 sheets Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12x18 inches in size. Lightly grease the center of each foil sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet. Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.

Step 4

Pour 1/2 cup of pasta sauce over each chicken breast. Spread the sauce evenly to cover the top.

Step 5

Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Divide the cherry tomatoes evenly among the packets, scattering them around the chicken.

Step 7

If using cooked pasta, place 1/2 cup of pasta around each chicken breast for a complete meal. Drizzle with a little olive oil to keep it from drying out.

Step 8

Sprinkle each packet with chopped fresh basil leaves for added flavor.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the foil up over the chicken to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam from escaping during cooking.

Step 10

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Carefully open the packets to release the steam. Serve directly in the foil for a no-mess meal, or transfer to plates if preferred.

Step 12

Garnish with extra fresh basil or Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve warm.
