These fun meal-in-one packets are an ideal way to use up your garden bounty. Tender chicken and delightfully seasoned veggies are tucked inside each foil-wrapped pack. Sharon Salvador from Lakeport, California shares the recipe. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided |
1 medium onion, sliced |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 small zucchini, sliced |
1 small yellow summer squash, sliced |
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms |
3/4 teaspoon dried basil |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon paprika |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cut eight 15-in. x 12-in. rectangles of heavy-duty foil; place one rectangle on top of another to make four. Divide onion slices among the four rectangles; top with chicken, mustard, zucchini, yellow squash and mushrooms.
2. Combine the basil, garlic powder, paprika and remaining salt and pepper; sprinkle over vegetables. Dot with butter. Fold foil around vegetable mixture and seal tightly. Place packets on a baking sheet.
3. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
