How to Make Chicken Baked In Foil In Coconut Curry Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon lime juice.
  3. Place 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) between sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Gently pound each breast to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil in half crosswise (8 sheets total).
  5. On each foil sheet, layer 1/2 cup zucchini (sliced), 1/4 cup yellow squash (sliced), 1/4 cup bell pepper (sliced), and 2 tablespoons green onions.
  6. Place one chicken breast half on top of the vegetables on each foil sheet.
  7. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the coconut milk mixture over each chicken breast.
  8. Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent leakage.
  9. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 22 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
  11. Carefully open the foil packets. Be cautious of steam!
  12. Serve immediately over basmati rice. Garnish with 1 teaspoon of fresh cilantro and a lime wedge per serving, if desired.
