- Use a good quality olive oil or cooking spray to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the packet.
- Season the ingredients generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Seal the packets tightly to prevent any leakage during cooking. Make sure there are no holes or tears in the foil.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the chicken and the vegetables. Thicker pieces may require a few extra minutes.
