Unwrap a bundle of goodness with our recipe for Garden Chicken 'n' Veggies. Apart from being so darn tasty, this foil packet recipe also puts to rest two mealtime dilemmas: portioning and cleanup. You'll be amazed at how easy dinner is when you've got a recipe like this one!
What You'll Need
- 1 (0.7-ounce) envelope dry Italian dressing mix, with 1 tablespoon reserved
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/2 pounds total)
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1/2 onion, cut in half moon slices
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Tear 4 pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12 x 18 inches.
- Sprinkle chicken evenly with dressing mix, then lay each piece of chicken on a piece of aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl, combine bell pepper, zucchini, onion, the reserved 1 tablespoon Italian dressing mix, and oil; toss until vegetables are completely coated. Distribute vegetable mixture evenly over chicken breasts and drizzle any remaining dressing over vegetables.Sprinkle cheese over vegetables and seal packets tightly. Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until no pink remains in chicken and juices run clear.
Mr. Food Test Kitchen Tip!
- If you prefer to make these on the grill, just heat the grill to medium-high heat and cook for 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center!

What's the difference between this recipe and "No Toil Chicken in Foil"?

Hi there! The difference between the recipes are that one of them uses a dry packet of Italian dressing and a bottled Italian dressing. One recipe only uses dry packet and vegetable oil to make a mixture to coat vegetables. This is because if you dont have the bottled dressing in your pantry you can still make the recipe by using just vegetable oil and some of the Italian dry packet. Hope this helps!

I love this recipe as is. I have made it several times and my husband and I look forward to having it again. One pack of the dry Italian dressing mix is not enough though. I use 2 of them.

can you cook this in a crock pot instead of individual packets

Hi there! - Yes, you can cook this chicken in your slow cooker instead of foil packets. Just don't top with cheese until 10 minutes before cooking is over. Cooking time is about 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours on low heat. Enjoy!
