Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly., Place packets on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and potatoes are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients in a very large bowl until the meat is well-coated in a uniform sauce.
• Place a 12-inch piece of aluminum foil on your work surface; top with a 12-inch piece of parchment paper. Spoon a quarter of the chicken mixture into the middle of the parchment paper.
• Fold the long sides so they meet in the middle of the packet, then crimp these long edges together to make a tight seal, using the foil to catch and hold the waggly parchment paper in the seam. Roll both of the ends of the packet to seal as well. continue to make 3 more packets.
• Set the packets on a large baking sheet and freeze for at least 24 hours. Remove the sheet and stack the packets flat in the freezer.
• To bake, position the rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F.
• Place 1 or more of the packets straight from the freezer on a large lipped baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until hot and steamy inside. Cool for 10 minutes before opening and serving.

ITALIAN CHICKEN AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high or the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to get 4 pieces. Pound the pieces to even thickness. Make sure each piece is 4 ounces.
• Prep the veggies: half or quarter baby red potatoes (you want pretty small pieces so they'll cook in the same time as everything else). Thinly slice the green bell pepper, cut the onion into rings, and cut the carrots into 1/8th inch thick matchsticks.
• In a very large bowl, add the chicken, potatoes, bell pepper, onion rings, carrots, and minced garlic. Pour the olive oil over everything and then all of the seasonings: the dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes if desired. Add salt and pepper to taste (I add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 of pepper, but do it to your preference).
• Toss all of the ingredients together to ensure everything is well coated in the seasonings and olive oil.
• Set out 4 large sheets of foil. Divide the mixture evenly among the foil making sure each foil pack gets 1 chicken piece.
• Seal the foil and grill on high heat for 15-25 minutes (large variance based on different grills/heat; my grill had these finished at 20 minutes) or in the oven for 30-45 minutes (again; large variance based on your oven temperature and how ingredients are prepared) or until the chicken is completely cooked through (registers 165 degrees F). My oven cooked these perfectly at 37 minutes and a friend tested this recipe and they were done at exactly 40 minutes.
• If grilling, I like to open the foil packs just a tiny bit at the top and if oven baking, you can open the foil packs at the end and broil for 1-2 minutes. (Totally optional.)
• Remove the foil packets from grill or oven and open carefully allowing for the steam to escape. If desired top with fresh parsley, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Season additionally with salt and pepper if desired and enjoy immediately.
