Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece Lemon, sliced into thin rounds
• 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary or thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Red bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 pieces Zucchini, thinly sliced
• 4 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

Step 2

Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each, and set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet and brush both sides generously with the olive oil mixture.

Step 5

Top each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of lemon and a sprig of rosemary or thyme.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the sliced red bell peppers and zucchini around the chicken breasts within each foil packet.

Step 7

Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, crimping the edges to seal tightly and form individual packets.

Step 8

Place the packets on a baking sheet if using the oven, or directly on the grill grates for grilling.

Step 9

Cook for 20-25 minutes in the oven or grill, flipping the packets halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Carefully open the packets (watching for steam) and serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables alongside.
