Italian Chicken in Foil

Cooking in foil packets saves on clean up. I could have used fat-free Italian dressing, but it has twice the sodium content of the light dressing. Plus, the light dressing is at least low in saturated fat. Enjoy this almost mess-free chicken with a side dish of whole grain rice, and you'll be consuming less than 30 percent of this meal's calories from fat.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 5-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup sliced zucchini
• 1 cup light Italian dressing

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Take four pieces of foil wrap 12 x 18 inches. Place a chicken breast in the center of each. Divide sliced mushrooms and zucchini between the four. Drizzle 1/4 cup Italian dressing over each.

Seal the foil packets by bringing up the sides of the foil sheets and folding over the top edge. Seal the ends, leaving enough air to circulate.

Place packets on a cookie sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
