Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons (grated) Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 medium (julienned) Carrot
• 1 medium (julienned) Zucchini
• 1 medium (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
• 4 stalks (chopped) Green onions
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups (optional, for serving) Cooked rice
• 4 sheets (12x12 inches) Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place each chicken breast in the center of a foil sheet.

Step 4

Brush each piece of chicken generously with the ginger marinade.

Step 5

Divide the carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, and green onions evenly among the packets, placing the vegetables on top of and around the chicken.

Step 6

Seal each foil packet by folding the edges together tightly, ensuring no liquid escapes.

Step 7

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Carefully open the foil packets (steam will escape, so be cautious).

Step 9

Serve each chicken packet directly on a plate or transfer to a bed of cooked rice if desired.
