Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon pepper divided
  • ½ teaspoon paprika divided
  • 4 cups baby potatoes sliced into ¼ inch rounds
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Season the chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, ¼ teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  • Add the potatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, and remaining seasonings to a bowl. Toss to coat.
  • 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.
  • 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, 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.
  • This recipe is adaptable! Choose new seasonings and veggies to mix things up!
