“Foil-Wrapped Safety Chicken” Recipe

(A clever and delicious chicken dish wrapped in foil to keep everything juicy and full of flavor—just like “protecting” your meal!)

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon (sliced)
  • 1 small zucchini (sliced)
  • 1 small red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Aluminum foil for wrapping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mix all over the chicken breasts.
  3. Prepare the Veggies: Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin strips.
  4. Wrap the Chicken: Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil for each chicken breast. Place a few slices of lemon on the foil, then add the seasoned chicken breast on top. Surround the chicken with the zucchini and bell pepper slices.
  5. Seal it Up: Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, making a sealed packet. This keeps all the flavors in and acts like a “shield” while the chicken cooks, much like the idea of foil on a door knob protecting it!
  6. Bake: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
  7. Garnish: Carefully open the foil packets (beware of steam) and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  8. Serve: Enjoy your juicy, flavorful chicken and veggies straight from the foil wrap—simple, healthy, and easy cleanup!
