Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables to add color, flavor, and nutrients to your chicken packets.
Choose vegetables that cook quickly, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
If you are using vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots or potatoes, pre-cook them slightly before adding them to the packets.
Season your chicken and vegetables with your favorite herbs and spices.
Use a good quality olive oil or cooking spray to prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking to the foil.
Seal the foil packets tightly to prevent the juices from leaking out.
Cook the chicken packets over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Let the chicken packets rest for a few minutes before opening to allow the juices to redistribute.
