- Makes: 4 servings
- Bake 30 mins to 35 mins
Ingredients
-
4
medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 pound)
-
2
tablespoons
olive oil or canola oil
-
2
tablespoons
lemon juice
-
1 1/2
tablespoons
snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil or Italian seasoning, crushed
-
1/4
teaspoon
salt
-
1/4
teaspoon
black pepper
-
2
cups
sliced fresh mushrooms
-
1
medium zucchini, cut into thin strips (about 1-1/2 cups)
-
2
medium carrots, cut into thin strips (about 2/3 cup)
-
Hot cooked rice or orzo (optional)
-
Fresh basil sprigs (optional)
Directions
- Fold four 28x12-inch pieces of foil in half to make four 14x12-inch rectangles. To assemble chicken bundles, place 1 chicken breast on each piece of foil, tucking under thin tip of the chicken breast. Fold up edges of foil slightly.
- In a small bowl, stir together the oil, lemon juice, basil, salt and pepper. Drizzle oil mixture over the chicken breasts. Top with mushrooms, zucchini and carrots, dividing equally among chicken bundles.
- Bring up 2 opposite edges of foil; seal with a double fold. Fold remaining ends to enclose the chicken and vegetables, leaving space for steam to build. Place foil bundles on a shallow baking pan.
- Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or till an instant-read thermometer inserted into chicken registers 170 degree F (carefully open foil when you check doneness).
- Serve in foil packets or transfer chicken and vegetables to serving plates and drizzle with cooking juices. If you like, serve with rice or orzo and garnish with basil. Makes 4 servings.
