Yet another Mediterranean-type chicken dish. I served this last night with Orzo with Herbs, salad, and Texas toast. These packets take about 30 minutes start to finish and have less than 350 calories. It's also quite convenient because it generally incorporates canned or preprepared ingredients.
MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN PACKETS
Recipe Notes
In order to avoid undercooking y0ur chicken, I would recommend the longer end of the cooking time (22 minutes) or perhaps even longer. Also, you can use either parchment or aluminum foil for this dish. This is an old Martha Stewart Everyday Food recipe that we've had several times.
