Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and tear off four large pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches in length.
-
Place a chicken breast in the center of each piece of foil and season them with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.
-
Divide the vegetable mixture among the four chicken breasts, spooning it on top of each piece.
-
Now, create a packet by bringing the two long sides of the foil together over the chicken and folding them down to seal. Then, fold and crimp the ends to secure the packet, ensuring there are no openings for steam to escape.
-
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
-
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for the steam!) and check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley over each Chicken Packet before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
