Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp dried rosemary
- zest of 1 lemon
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, mustards, thyme, rosemary and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Cut four sheets of foil, about 12 inches long. Divide potatoes into 4 equal portions and add to the center of each foil in a single layer.
- Fold up all 4 sides of each foil packet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste; gently toss to combine.
- Top each packet with the chicken. Using your fingers or a brush, work the mustard mixture onto both sides of the chicken. Top with lemon slices.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the chicken, covering completely and sealing the packets closed. Place foil packets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Notes
Optional: Preheat oven to broil. Open the packets and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
