Chicken Packets

My mom used to make these when I lived at home and I always loved them. They are so simple and delicious! The recipe below is for 2 people and divide each ingredient in 1/2 to be what you need for each packet. To make it for additional people just add an extra chicken breast per person and bump up all the other ingredients.

2 chicken breasts

4 carrots, cut into chunks

1 onion

3 red potatoes

4 cloves of garlic

2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons parsley
2 table spoons butter, each tablespoon cut in 6 pieces

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 teaspoons olive oil

aluminum foil

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Lay a large piece of foil down on your counter and season both sides of your chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, paprika and parsley.
• Then begin to put the following ingredients on the foil:  2 cut up carrots, 1/2 an onion, 1/2 of your potatoes, and 2 cloves of garlic. Then season the veggies with some salt and pepper and garlic powder.
• Add your butter in little pieces all over the veggies and chicken (will be 1 tablespoon per packet, cut into 6 pieces) and drizzle with about 2 teaspoons olive oil
• Bring 2 of the opposite sides of the foil up and begin to fold the foil together. Fold it down to about an inch above the food, then fold in the two sides. You want to have an aluminum foil packet that doesn't let any air escape
• Put your packets on a baking sheet and cook for about 40 minutes. 
• After 40 minutes, slightly open your packet and see if your veggies are fork tender and your chicken is cooked. 
• Enjoy!
