Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place each chicken breast in the center of a foil sheet.
Step 4
Brush each piece of chicken generously with the ginger marinade.
Step 5
Divide the carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, and green onions evenly among the packets, placing the vegetables on top of and around the chicken.
Step 6
Seal each foil packet by folding the edges together tightly, ensuring no liquid escapes.
Step 7
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Carefully open the foil packets (steam will escape, so be cautious).
