Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Sauce

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons honey (natural)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (natural)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

For the Vegetables

1 bell pepper, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced

Optional Garnishes

Chopped fresh parsley
Chopped fresh chives

Instructions

Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey (natural), Dijon mustard (natural), olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent until smooth and glossy. This sauce will coat the chicken and vegetables with flavor.
Assemble the Foil Packets: Lay out large sheets of aluminum foil. Divide the chopped bell peppers, zucchini, and red onions evenly among the foil sheets. Place one chicken breast on top of the vegetables on each sheet, then generously spoon the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and vegetables to coat them fully.
Seal and Bake: Fold the foil into tightly sealed packets, ensuring no steam can escape. Place the packets on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully open the foil packets allowing the steam to escape. Plate the Chicken Foil Packets, optionally garnishing with chopped parsley or chives, and enjoy the flavorful, tender meal.

Notes

Use fresh chicken breasts for even cooking and juicy results.
Do not overpack the foil packets; leave space for steam to circulate.
Cut vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Let the sealed packets rest for 5 minutes after baking to redistribute juices.
For a thicker sauce, increase honey (natural) and Dijon mustard (natural) slightly.
