# Zutaten:

→ Protein

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, approximately 5.3 ounces each

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
03 - 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
04 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
05 - 1 red onion, cut into wedges
06 - 7 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
07 - 3.5 ounces pitted Kalamata olives

→ Marinade and Seasonings

08 - 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, approximately 1 lemon
10 - 2 teaspoons dried oregano
11 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1 teaspoon salt
13 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
14 - Zest of 1 lemon

→ Garnish

15 - 3.5 ounces crumbled feta cheese
16 - Fresh parsley, chopped
17 - Additional lemon wedges, for serving

# Anleitung:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F or preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
03 - 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, or up to 1 hour for optimal flavor development.
04 - Cut four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, approximately 12 inches by 16 inches each.
05 - Divide the sliced peppers, zucchini, onion, tomatoes, and olives evenly among the foil sheets, arranging them in the center of each sheet.
06 - Place one marinated chicken breast on top of each pile of vegetables. Drizzle with the remaining marinade.
07 - Fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables to create a securely sealed packet. Place packets on a baking sheet if using the oven, or directly on the grill grates.
08 - Bake or grill for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F.
09 - Carefully open the foil packets, taking care to avoid escaping steam. Top each packet with crumbled feta and fresh parsley. Serve with additional lemon wedges.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Everything cooks inside one foil packet, so cleanup is basically non-existent and your kitchen doesn't turn into a steam room.
  • The chicken stays impossibly tender because it's steaming in its own juices while soaking up lemon and oregano.
  • You can prep these in the morning, refrigerate them, and dinner is ready whenever you decide to turn on the heat.
02 -
  • Überkoche das Hähnchen nicht—es wird trocken und enttäuschend, besonders wenn es dünn ist; ein Fleischthermometer ist dein bester Freund hier.
  • Die Marinade macht den ganzen Unterschied—es ist verlockend, dies zu überspringen, aber dieser zusätzliche Säure- und Würzschritt ist das, was die Magie ausmacht.
03 -
  • Verwende schwere Alufolie oder doppeltes Standardblatt, um sicherzustellen, dass beim Handling nichts durchbricht und dass die Hitze sanft und gleichmäßig zirkuliert.
  • Wenn du mehrere Pakete machst, markiere sie mit einem permanenten Marker, wenn jemand etwas Besonderes mag—dein zukünftiges Ich wird dir danken.
