Ingredients:
4 ½ oz. protein, 1 veggie, and 1 carb per serving
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast (appx 6 ounces)
½ cup diced zucchini
1 potato (3” long), scrubbed and diced
¼ cup diced onion
¼ cup sliced baby carrots
¼ cup sliced mushrooms
1/8 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°
Cut off a 12-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and/or parchment paper
Fold the foil and/or parchment paper in half, unfold and spray with cooking spray
Center the chicken breast on the sheet
Top with zucchini, potato, onion, carrots and mushrooms
Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika on the chicken and vegetables
Bring the foil together and make small, overlapping folds down the length of the packet to seal
Twist the two ends several times to make a tight seal so the liquid won't escape during cooking
Place the packet on a cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes, until chicken and vegetables are tender.
* Tip: This recipe may also be prepared on the grill. Use heavy-duty aluminum foil and place it off to the side of the flame. Turn midway through the cooking time.
