Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Carrot
• 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 pieces Lemon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the zucchini and carrot into thin slices. Halve the cherry tomatoes and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Lay out two sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long, on a flat surface.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Divide the zucchini, carrot slices, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly between the two packets, arranging them around the chicken.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fresh tarragon leaves and 1 minced garlic clove over each chicken breast.

Step 7

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and vegetables in each packet.

Step 8

Season each packet with 0.25 teaspoons of salt and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 9

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon evenly over the two packets.

Step 10

Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet that traps the steam during cooking.

Step 11

Place the sealed packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.

Step 12

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the packets cool for 2-3 minutes before carefully opening them to release the steam.

Step 13

Serve the chicken and vegetables directly from the foil packets for a rustic presentation or transfer to plates for serving.
