Calories: 245kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bell peppers, chopped (I used 1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper)
- 1 large zucchini, sliced or chopped
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
- crushed red pepper flakes, for serving, optional
- chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450˚F.
- Cut out 4 sheets of foil, each measuring about 12”x12”. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the chopped chicken, peppers, zucchini, onion, and garlic.
- To the chicken mixture add olive oil, paprika, Italian Seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Spoon mixture evenly onto the 4 foil sheets.
- Fold all sides of the foil over the ingredients and seal it closed.
- Transfer the foil packs to a large baking sheet and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Chicken is cooked through when internal temperature registers at 165˚F.
- Remove from oven.
- Carefully poke a hole in the top of the packets, to let some of the steam out. Open the packets away from your face because of the remaining steam inside.
- Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust accordingly.
- Garnish with pepper flakes, if using, and chopped parsley.
- Serve.
