Chicken & Veggies En Foile...

Or in other words, some good stuff cooked up in aluminum foil. 

For this Not So Fat Friday, I bring you something easy, tasty & fast!!! I have been making this for a few years now & it's just a good go to now & again. Use this as a blank canvas to create any combination with whatever you have in the kitchen & pantry. Maybe some chicken, tomato, artichoke, spinach & mozzarella for an Italian flair or chicken, snow peas, ginger & hoisin for Asian. The possibilities are endless. Just follow the time & you will be set.

6-8 tblspn BBQ sauce of your choice
4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 small unpeeled red potatoes, sliced thin
1 red or green bell pepper
1 green onion, finely chopped
or 1 small Vidalia onion, sliced
Salt & pepper
3/4 cup shredded lowfat cheese
4 pieces of 12" x 12" foil

Pre-heat oven to 375. Spoon  up to 1 tblsp BBQ sauce in center of each foil. Place one chicken breast over sauce & spread another tblsp of sauce over the chicken. Top with a quarter of the potato, bell pepper & onion. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

{oops, my sauce went on top of the veggies, not the chicken}

{ Out of the oven, waiting for cheese }

Fold foil in half to cover & bring in sides to seal. Make 4 packets. Place on baking sheet & bake for 30 minutes. Open packets carefully & sprinkle with 1/4 of the shredded cheese. You can place back in over without resealing the foil or just let sit for a minute with the foil closed a little to allow cheese to melt. Scoop carefully onto plate & pour juice from packet all over.

{My Thoughts}

If you don't slice your potatoes very thin then they won't be tender. To be sure, just place the potatoes in the microwave for 2 minutes prior to slicing.
