How to Make Italian Chicken Packets
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Place one chicken breast in the center of each large square of aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Add sliced vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and onions) and cherry tomatoes around the chicken.
- Drizzle each packet with a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar.
- Fold foil or parchment paper over the chicken and vegetables to create a sealed packet.
- Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- Carefully open packets (be cautious of steam) and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired.
