To make your evening meal go faster, prep these chicken and vegetable packets early in the day and refrigerate until it's time to pop in the oven. This cooking time will yield nicely done chicken and vegetables with a little texture. If you prefer your vegetables softer, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and cook about 15 minutes longer. For the summer, this recipe will also adapt to the grill—just be sure to use a grill thermostat for best results.

Ingredients

  • heavy duty aluminum foil:
  • boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 3 piece (5 ounce)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • olive oil: 2 Tbsp
  • garlic: 1 Tbsp (minced)
  • salt: 0.5 tsp (to taste)
  • black pepper: 0.5 tsp (to taste, freshly ground)
  • parsnip: 1 piece (sliced)
  • medium carrots, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices: 2 piece
  • medium red bell pepper: 1 piece (cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
  • ounces button mushrooms: 4 piece (sliced)
  • sprigs fresh rosemary: 6 piece
  • slices red onion: 6 piece
  • sprigs fresh rosemary: 6 piece

  8. Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Watch out for any steam when you check the chicken for doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
