Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) or your oven to the same temperature.
  2. Wash and chop the vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, broccoli) into bite-sized pieces and cube the chicken into one-inch pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then mix well.
  5. Cut large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12 inches by 12 inches. Place a generous amount of the mixture in the center of each square.
  6. Fold the edges of the aluminum foil over the filling to create a closed packet.
  7. Place the foil packs on the preheated grill or in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before opening the packs. Garnish with parsley.
  9. Enjoy your meal and toss the used foil for easy cleanup!
