Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
• 3 medium (cut into 1/4-inch slices) Red potatoes
• 2 cups (trimmed) Green beans
• 4 tablespoons (melted) Butter
• 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 whole (cut into wedges, for serving) Lemon
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12x18 inches in size.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels. Drizzle both sides with olive oil and season evenly with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Divide the red potato slices evenly among the 4 foil sheets, placing them in the center. Layer green beans on top of the potatoes.

Step 6

Place one seasoned chicken breast over the vegetables in each packet.

Step 7

Drizzle the garlicky butter mixture over the top of each chicken breast and vegetables, ensuring everything is coated evenly.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing them to form a packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to prevent steam or juices from escaping.

Step 9

Carefully place the foil packets on a baking sheet (if using the oven) or directly on the grill grates. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Carefully open the foil packets to avoid steam burns. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
