Italian Chicken Packets

I made dinner for Rachael tonight, and we're both trying to be healthy...so this is what I came up with!

Ingredients:
* 1 zucchini, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise, then into thin half-moons 
* 2 yukon potatoes (or whichever kind you prefer), cut into thin slices
* 1/2 yellow onion, cut into thin strips
* 1 garlic clove, sliced thin
* 1.5 lemon, sliced thin (could get away with 1, I just love lemon)
* Approximately 5 thin sliced chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
* Wild Rice (I love the Fast Cook by Uncle Ben's)
* Aluminum Foil
* Olive oil
* Italian seasoning (fresh or dried, I used a dried Rosemary Herb Mixture)
* Salt and pepper

Cut the aluminum foil so that you can individually wrap each serving. Layer the potatoes, zucchini, onion, garlic, lemon, and chicken. Season with Italian seasoning, drizzle some olive oil and a dash of lemon juice. Wrap the packet to seal it tight. You can also label these with a Sharpie if you're making each package differently -- makes this meal great for those with dietary restrictions/food allergies.


Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rice. Serve together. Great for leftovers!
