Ginger-Garlic Chicken
The beauty of foil packets is that there's no mess to clear up. No fat is needed, either. Here, I use a simple ginger-garlic soy mixture to add flavor to the chicken breasts. Enjoy with some steamed rice.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 4-6 ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Tear off 4 sheets of foil measuring 12 x 18 inches each.

Combine soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Place one chicken breast in the center of each sheet of foil wrap. Cut two small slits in each chicken breast. Drizzle the ginger-garlic-soy mixture over the chicken. Bring up the sides of the foil and turn over the top edge twice. Seal the ends, leaving enough room inside the packets for air to circulate.

Place on a cookie sheet and cook for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches a minimum of 165 degrees. Serve with Jasmine rice. Serves 4.
