Tasty Chicken and Veggie Packets
Chicken and vegetables baked in a foil packet — one pan, nothing to scrub, 27 g of protein.
Estimated; may vary.
Everything goes into a foil packet and into the oven: chicken breast, zucchini, bell pepper, carrot, oil, seasoning. The packet steams the vegetables and keeps the chicken from drying out, and there is nothing to wash afterwards.
One thing to be strict about: cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Inside a sealed packet you cannot judge it by color, so use a thermometer rather than a guess.

- Peppers (Bell)1/2 cup (46 g)
- Carrots (Mature)1/2 cup (61 g)
- Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)1 tbsp (14 g)

- Cut the vegetables a similar size so they finish cooking at the same time as the chicken.
- Seal the packets tightly to trap steam; open away from your face to avoid the hot steam.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C (400F) and cut two large sheets of foil.
