Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  4. Top each with cut vegetables and lemon slices, dividing evenly between packets.
  5. Sprinkle with basil (or other herb).
  6. Cover each prepared chicken breast with 3-4 tablespoons of vinaigrette.
  7. Fold parchment edges together twice to seal tightly being careful to leave a little air space between parchment and contents.

  9. Bake for 14-16 minutes until parchment is browned on edges and puffs.
  10. Allow packets to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
