Pam Hall of Elizabeth City, North Carolina seasons chicken breasts with a delightful combination of herbs before topping each with veggies. "Servings are individually wrapped in foil," explains Pam, "so I can enjoy nature's beauty in my backyard while the packets cook on the grill."

Made this tonight and we loved it! So easy and no cleanup to speak of! I used fresh rosemary, thyme and basil since I have them growing just out the door! Used Carrots since I did not have potatoes and zucchini for the yellow sq. same reason. Lots of Vidalia onion too! Can easily be changed out with whatever you have on hand!

I followed this recipe exactly but unfortunately the only thing that cooked properly was the chicken. The vegetables were rock hard and the seasonings were overpowering. I would have nuked the vegetables to finish them off but we didn't like the strong flavors of the seasonings and after a couple of bites no one wanted to eat any more.

Can be made in oven, at 350 degrees;35-40 min. I used parchment paper first then surround w/foil put in baking pan-this kept the chicken more moist,had some fluids in bottom of paper, which was good as I marinade first-didn't use potatoes, just yellow &red peppers-nxt time I'll add potatoes!

My husband has made similar meals with ground beef, but using chicken would be a great alternative. I will certainly keep this one in mind for the next grill meal.

I've used this type of recipe for a long time My son loves it when I add cubed potatoes and carrots, sometimes I throw in frozen green beans or fresh brocolli florets. It works well in the oven, I usually cook it for aqbout 50 minutes to be sure it's all cooked

I am going to cook this in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. It sounds good and will look pretty. I'll probably add a zuchinni too.

Sounds great! I also would like to know the particulars for cooking this in a conventional oven. Thank you.

Re:Potato/Chicken Packets

Can this be done in the oven?

At what temp and for how long?
