Ingredients:

• 4 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup sliced zucchini
• 1 cup light Italian dressing

Place packets on a cookie sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
 

Foil Packet Chicken, Southwestern Style

Ingredients:

• 4 12-inch by 18-inch sheets of foil wrap
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup chunky salsa
• 1 cup black beans or dark red kidney beans
• 1 cup frozen or canned corn

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Place one chicken breast in the middle of each sheet of foil wrap or parchment paper. Spoon one fourth of the salsa, black beans and sweetcorn on each of the four chicken breasts.

Seal each pack by bringing up sides and folding the top edge over twice. Seal the edges in the same way, leaving enough room for heat to circulate inside.

Place packs on a cookie sheet and cook for 20 minutes. Unseal packs carefully. Serve with some instant, microwavable brown rice.
