Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Montreal chicken seasoning
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 3/4 lb), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces (4 cups)
1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F or heat gas or charcoal grill for direct grilling. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of foil. In medium bowl, mix melted butter, honey, mustard and seasoning. Add chicken, and turn to coat; set aside.
In large microwavable bowl, microwave sweet potatoes uncovered on High 5 to 7 minutes or until fork tender. Carefully divide potatoes among the 4 pieces of foil. Top with bell pepper chunks. Top each with chicken breast and sauce.
For each packet, bring up 2 sides of foil over chicken and vegetables so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
If baking, place packets on cookie sheet, and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). If grilling, place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 18 to 20 minutes, rotating packets one-half turn after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).
Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil. Top with green onions.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL

Oven-Baked Chicken and Vegetables in Foil image

To make your evening meal go faster, prep these chicken and vegetable packets early in the day and refrigerate until it's time to pop in the oven. This cooking time will yield nicely done chicken and vegetables with a little texture. If you prefer your vegetables softer, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and cook about 15 minutes longer. For the summer, this recipe will also adapt to the grill-just be sure to use a grill thermostat for best results.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

heavy duty aluminum foil
3 (5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 parsnip, peeled and sliced
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
6 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 slices red onion
6 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cut an 18-inch wide roll of heavy-duty aluminum foil into six 12-inch long pieces.
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, so the thickest part is about 1/2 inch thick and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set each seasoned chicken breast onto a single piece of aluminum foil.
Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sliced carrots, parsnip, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir to combine vegetables with the seasoned oil. Set an even amount of vegetables on top of each piece of chicken.
Top vegetables with a whole slice of red onion and place a sprig of fresh rosemary on top of the onion.
Fold aluminum like a book cover over the top of each serving and crimp the edges all around tightly together.
Place foil packets with the chicken on the bottom onto a 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Watch out for any steam when you check the chicken for doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Remove foil packets from the oven, open the packets, and serve immediately.

Categories main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (4- to 4 1/2-pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, quartered
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 1/2 pounds radishes, preferably mixed heirloom, trimmed and scrubbed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan or ceramic baking dish just large enough to hold the chicken and radishes, and sprinkle the cavity liberally with salt and pepper. Put the lemon and thyme in the cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wings under the body. Cut any larger radishes in half so they are all about the same size and place around the chicken.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Brush the chicken and radishes all over with the melted butter and sprinkle them both liberally with salt and pepper.
Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh. Cover the pan or baking dish with aluminum foil and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Carve the chicken and serve with the radishes and pan juices.
