High protein, lean veggies, minimal fat used and the foil packets cook and steam the chicken and vegetables at the same time so minimal clean up!
This is a super easy recipe that is easily changeable to work with your family, dietary restrictions or goals (i.e. macros, Weight Watchers, Paleo, W30, etc). I measured out the chicken just so I have a good idea of how much protein is in each and I'll post the macro breakdown in the recipe below.
I also wanted to ensure I had amble amount of fiber from my veggies, so I chopped up 8 cups of vegetables to be used across 4 foil packet lunches. In this case, I used Fennel, Asparagus and Broccoli. Simple, hearty and delicious. Just ensure your veggies are chopped into uniform sizes and are able to hold up to roasting for over 20 minutes. Something like zucchini would likely end up pretty mushy and not very delicious.
Pull out 4 large sheets of tin foil, about 18 inches long each. Begin assembling your ingredients into the foil packets.
Next are the seasonings. Since I had macros in mind, I only used 1/2 tsp of oil for the packets. Of course you can add more, but you don't really need it. I also used lemon pepper seasoning, dried dill as well as garlic salt. Mix it up, add a lemon wedge and seal your foil by crimping the top together like such.
Preheat your oven to 400° and cook for about 20 minutes until chicken is cooked through to 165°.
I even had these cute little pre-portioned meal prep containers I picked up off of Amazon and was able to portion everything out, added in a 1/3 of a cup of rice as well as 1/2 cup of my favorite Cauliflower Mash. Filling, delicious and healthy :)
