Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 4 small baby potatoes
• 1 medium carrots
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the baby potatoes into quarters and slice the carrot into thin rounds.

Step 3

Lay a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Make sure it is big enough to wrap all the ingredients into a packet.

Step 4

Place the chicken breast in the center of the foil. Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and broccoli florets around the chicken breast.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Drizzle the oil mixture over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the top of the chicken and vegetables.

Step 8

Fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing it tightly to create a packet. Be sure to leave some room inside for steam to circulate during cooking.

Step 9

Place the foil packet on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Carefully open the foil packet (watch out for the hot steam), and transfer the chicken and vegetables to a plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
