Easy (good for you) dinner....

Tin Foil Packet Chicken with Roasted Parmesan Zucchini:
This meal is delicious and so easy. 
Pre-heat your oven to 400.

 Slice 2-3 zucchinis into thin slices and place it in a medium sized bowl.  Sprinkle some salt and pepper over them and then sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan over that.  Toss until each zucchini is coated.  Place them on a sprayed cookie sheet.  For less cleanup you could line the cookie sheet with tin foil.
 For the chicken, I bought pre-seasoned lemon and herb chicken breasts.  They were in the freezer section.  You can just as easily add some lemon and herbs inside the packet yourself.   Place a frozen chicken breast in a square of tin foil and fold to create a packet.  Place packets in a baking dish fold side up.  Put them in the oven for 20 minutes.
 After 20 minutes, add the zucchini right alongside.  Leave another 30 minutes or until the zucchini is golden brown.
Take the chicken out, open the packet, and check for doneness.  Make sure there is no pink inside.
The Parmesan creates a wonderful crust on the zucchini and the chicken is moist and delicious.  Healthy and easy!  Enjoy!
p.s. If you want your zucchini a little more crispy - simply put it under the broiler for a minute.  Make sure to watch it so it doesn't burn.
