Step 1
Wash hands with soap and water.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
Step 3
Cut four large rectangles of parchment paper or aluminum foil and fold in half to create a crease. Unfold.
Step 4
Place each chicken breast in the middle of the foil or parchment paper and season with salt and pepper (if desired).
Step 5
Top chicken with your choice of vegetables and seasonings.
Step 6
Drizzle each packet with 1/2 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
Step 7
Fold the parchment paper or foil in half and then crimp around the edges tightly in 1/4-inch folds to create a half moon shape.
Step 8
Using a spatula, transfer the packets to a baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 °F, about 20 minutes, depending the thickness of the chicken breast.
