PIN IT FOR LATER!

I’m totally starting to feel my age. Which in some ways, isn’t too bad. But in others, well, I wish I could go back to being a teenager. Or at least a 20-something.

Don’t get me wrong. My 30s have been way better than my 20s were. But as I inch ever so closer to that 40 mark, my body is definitely telling me that I’m not 22 anymore. And that I really need to put that donut down.

The thing is, I love to eat. I love food. It’s more than just sustenance to me. But I can’t even eat like I did 2 years ago anymore. I’ve always been a believer in all things in moderation, but now, I feel like I’m having to tip more towards the healthy side instead of right in the middle to keep things under control. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not giving up my cheese or that slice of cake, but I’ve been on the search for healthier dinner ideas.

I don’t follow a lot of fashion bloggers, (simply because most days, I’m the complete opposite of fashionable), but there is one that I like to watch on Snapchat. And a few weeks ago, she made her dinner in foil packets. I don’t know why it kind of sat with me, because foil packets are really anything new, but I typically only think about them for camping. Or at least outdoor cooking, aka the grill. But hers, although I can’t remember now what was in it, looked amazing, and she just cooked it in the oven, alongside the meal for her family.

So I knew I had to try one.

Healthy and fast, this Chicken Milano Foil Packet Recipe is great for a weeknight. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and clean up is a breeze!

Ingredients

▢ 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8-10 oz each)
▢ 1/4 cup prepared Italian dressing light or reduced calorie works
▢ 8 oz fresh mushrooms sliced
▢ 1/4 cup fresh basil plus more for topping
▢ 1/4 cup julienned sun-dried tomatoes dried, not in oil
▢ 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
Butterfly each of the chicken breasts open and cut into two thinner pieces so you have a total of 4 pieces of chicken.
Cut 4 large pieces of heavy-duty foil. Place one piece of chicken in the center of each piece of foil. Top with 1 tablespoon of Italian dressing, 1/4 of the mushrooms, 1/4 of the basil, and 1/4 of the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring up 2 sides of the foil and seal. Fold the opposite edges to form a packet. There should be some room in the package for heat circulation. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet, and place in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the juice of the chicken is no longer pink, and when a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast registers 165ºF.
Fold back the foil of each packet and top with the Parmesan cheese. Add more basil, if desired.
