Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches each).

  2. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set it aside to cool slightly.

  3. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure that the seasonings are evenly distributed on both sides of the chicken.

  4. Divide the cooked rice into four portions and place each portion in the center of a piece of foil.

  5. Place a seasoned chicken breast on top of the rice in each packet.

  6. Distribute the bell pepper, red onion, and broccoli evenly among the four packets, arranging them around the chicken.

  7. Pour 1/4 cup of chicken broth into each packet to help keep the chicken moist during baking.

  8. Seal the packets by bringing the two opposite foil edges together and folding them over several times, then folding and crimping the sides to create a secure seal.

  9. Place the packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.

  10. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  11. Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam) and check that the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are tender.

  12. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over each packet as a garnish before serving.
