Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 pound Asparagus spears
• 1 pound Baby red potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 4 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the baby red potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.

Step 3

Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12 inches long.

Step 4

Place one chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil.

Step 5

Divide the potato pieces and asparagus spears evenly among the four foil packets, arranging them around the chicken.

Step 6

Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each chicken breast and its accompanying vegetables.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over each chicken breast and vegetables.

Step 8

Fold the sides of each piece of foil to create a sealed packet, ensuring no steam can escape during cooking.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Carefully open each foil packet—be cautious of the hot steam—and garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 12

Serve each packet with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the chicken and vegetables before eating.
