Directions

1. Pre-heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay four 12×12 inch (30×30 cm) squares of foil out on a flat surface. Place zucchini slices, tomatoes in the middle of each piece of foil. Season with salt and pepper, then top with each chicken fillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.

2. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, mustard, and honey. Divide the sauce over each chicken pack and sprinkle with crushed chili pepper and chopped parsley.

3. Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables to close off the pack, pinch the ends together so the pack stays closed.

4. Transfer the packs to a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Serve immediately and open carefully. Enjoy with an additional touch of parsley!

Note: If chicken breasts are too thick, just cut lengthwise to make fillets, they will cook faster.

Delicious, my favourite. Cooked many times in the past (and twice this week alone). I used to do it in foil packs, but now cook a bulk lot in a deep square baking dish (same quantity of ingredients). I still layer veggies at the bottom of dish, chicken on top (1kg usually), but dice the chicken to make it easier to serve. It takes about 50 minutes in the oven this way (35 with tray covered in alfoil and another 15 to cook through chicken until it starts to brown). I sprinkle chicken generously with chilli flakes after pouring over the sauce. My family eats it served with rice (as it is very liquidy and rice tones down the chilli a bit and it makes the meal go further if serving a lot) but I love having it more like a soup/stew. Absolutely recommend. This is so easy to make. Serves 4 easily, more if serving with rice.

The flavor was delicious. I tried cooking this in a parchment roasting bag since cooking in aluminum is extremely toxic. This made the veggies very soggy. I”m going to try this again using beeswax food wraps. Again, the flavor was really good.
