Cooking chicken and vegetables in a little parcel means your whole meal is wrapped up – resulting in a super tasty dish with not much washing up. Serve with a portion of steamed green vegetables to add another one of your 5-A-DAY.

Ingredients

Spray oil
1 small sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced
½ small red onion, finely sliced
6 cherry tomatoes
1 chicken breast, skinless (about 120g)
¼–½ teaspoon dried mixed Italian herbs
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC / Fan 200ºC.
Place a large square of foil on a baking tray (about 30 cm x 30 cm), and coat with a fine layer of spray oil.
In the centre of the foil, layer the slices of sweet potato and onion. Around the sweet potato, place the cherry tomatoes.
Top with the chicken breast and season with the dried herbs and black pepper.
Pull up the sides of the foil and seal, leaving space in the parcel for steam to circulate.
Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes.
Check the chicken is cooked through before serving.
