Baked Chicken and Vegetables in Foil Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425º F.
Tear off 4 pieces of foil, each approximately 12 inches square. Spray the inside of the foil with vegetable or no-stick spray. Salt and pepper chicken breasts and place each on a prepared foil square.
Combine green onions, carrots, zucchini, tarragon, garlic, and lemon zest in a bowl, and then top each chicken breast with the vegetables and sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the vegetables.
Fold all edges of foil together tightly to seal. Place on a large baking sheet and bake in prepared oven. Large chicken breasts bake approximately 25 minutes; 4 to 5 ounce chicken breasts bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Open the packages carefully when serving as they will contain hot broth. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving plate. The broth can now be spooned over the food.
