These Baked Lemon Chicken Foil Packets are just so easy and so delicious! Succulent chicken with all your favorite veggies are baked in a packet for an easy dinner.
Grab 4 pieces of nonstick foil. Spray the middle of each sheet with nonstick spray. To each sheet, place ¼ of the potato mixture. Top with a chicken breast, lemon slices, and 1 tablespoon butter.
1 lemon, 4 tablespoons butter
Fold the left and right sides of the foil to touch in the center. Roll this down towards the chicken to seal. Roll in the top and bottom to finish the seal. Repeat with the remaining packets.
Transfer the packets to a sheet pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes
Use a preheated oven.
To cook these foil packets on the grill instead, place them on the hot grill and cook for about 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Make sure to spray the middle of each sheet with nonstick spray.
You can check the doneness of the chicken by sticking a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken, if it's reading at least 165 F then you are good.
Chicken breast can be replaced with boneless chicken thighs.
Remember each foil packets is for one serving, so stuff accordingly.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a fresh pop.
