Wow! Fantastic! I had to make some changes, but this was still extraordinary. Let me try to remember the changes: (1) I baked it in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes, (2) kept the chicken breasts whole, putting them (seasoned) at the bottom of the packet and then dumped the mixed veggies on top and with drizzled olive oil, (3) made with WAY more veggies and herbs and spices, and (4) left out the pepperoni. Everything was so juicy that I literally had to drain the contents of the packets before serving, so we added the cheese on the plated food rather than into the packets. Fantastic! -
I made this for the dinner the other night as it used a lot of leftovers I had in the fridge. I did it in the oven and loved the fact that it was practically a no mess dinner. The chicken was lovely & moist and packed with flavour, hubby & I both thoroughly enjoyed it! -
This is a very tasty recipe. And quick too! I baked it in the oven at 350 for about 35-40 minutes instead of grilling. The only thing that I would add is when it's being served, add some tomato sauce of some sort on top (which was my husbands idea, but I agree!) because it turned out a little bit dry. Can't wait to try it again with that addition. Thanks! -
This was great and healthy dinner! We did it in the oven, unfortunately I left it in a little too long so the chicken got tough. But this is a great recipe and I can't wait to try it again and do it right! Thanks NurseDi for yet another good recipe.

This was wonderful! I changed it around A LOT since it's too hot outside right now (around 100 degrees!) so grilling is out! I made a whole wheat tortilla wrap with this: I sauted some zucchini & turkey pepperoni with some minced onion & garlic in a skillet till tender, then added some shredded chicken & pizza seasoning. I put it all in the tortilla, topped it with some low fat mozzarella cheese & parmesan herb mix (recipe from this site). I baked it at 400 for about 20 min to melt the cheese. It was very HOT (temperature-wise; will bake at a lower temp next time) but yummy! Fit the bill for a nice light but filling supper :-)

Yum, Yum, Yum!!! This recipe was so good! I was looking for a recipe to make with chicken on the grill that was different and this hit the spot! The only thing i changed was i used sliced mushrooms instead of the green pepper. It's a keeper and i will be making this alot over the summer! Thanks!
