Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, approximately 5.3 oz each
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 7 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3.5 oz pitted Kalamata olives
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, approximately 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3.5 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Additional lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F or preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes, up to 1 hour for optimal flavor development.
- Cut four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12 inches by 16 inches each.
- Divide the sliced peppers, zucchini, onion, tomatoes, and olives evenly among the foil sheets, placing them in the center of each sheet.
- Place one marinated chicken breast on top of each pile of vegetables. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
- Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create a sealed packet. Place packets on a baking sheet if using the oven or directly on the grill grates.
- Bake or grill for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature reaching 165°F.
- Carefully open the foil packets, watching for escaping steam. Top each packet with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley. Serve with additional lemon wedges.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the chicken for as long as possible.
- You can customize the vegetables based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
- Ensure packets are sealed well to prevent steam from escaping.
