As a child my mother fixed foil dinners frequently--normally using ground beef patties. In the last month I have perfected the chicken foil dinner and it is tasty and easy:
Take 1 tsp. of olive oil and mix it well with 1/3 tsp each paprika, cumin and ground thyme. Cut up a potato into bite size pieces and drizzle the oil mixture over the potato in a bowl with a top. Put the top on the bowl and shake the bowl to coat the potato with the oil and spices. Dump the potato into the center of a large piece of foil. Add other veggies of your choice (I use carrots, squash & mushrooms in small quantities). Top with an organic boneless, skinless chicken breast and a very thin slice of white onion. Place another piece of foil on top and seal the two pieces of foil by folding them several times on all four sides. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 for about 45 minutes. Enjoy.

Would you use regular foil or heavy duty foil? I would like to make it for supper tonight.

I've just been thinking about something like this! Thanks.
Do you know if it could be done with fish, too, and how much to adjust the cooking time?

Fish works, the potatoes and carrots need the full 45 minutes to cook or close to it. I add the fish about 25 minutes into the cooking process.

Are these the measurements for one chicken breast? I need to make a serving for 4.

Mine turned bland and dry. I followed the recipe. I don't know what happened. I think I will try again to adjust the spices and maybe add some garlic. Hopefully the chicken will not be dry the next time.

I use the very large boneless skinless breasts from the meat counter at my grocery. If you use a smaller breast then you don't want to cook for 45 minutes. Also, I can't handle many spices but I do add salt & pepper to taste after it is cooked!

Yes, these are just for one so multiply by 4.

I ended up making two chicken breasts and doubled everything. It just didn't work for us. I am still going to try it again. I have to go shopping though.

Hope it works the next time. Make sure the foil is sealed very tight. That makes the chicken steam instead of bake and seals in the moisture. You might add some hot sauce to the spices you coast the potato with if you can tolerate that. Good luck.
