Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375*. Cut 4 sheets of foil, about 12 inches square. Place one breast on each, arrange a quarter of the vegetables on top. Prepare seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, basil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper until combined. Spoon about 1/4 of the seasoning mixture evenly over each chicken and vegetable mound. With the chicken and vegetable mound crosswise on the foil, fold the 2 sides over both ends of the chicken. Fold the nearest edge over the chicken; then fold the farthest edge toward you over the whole parcel so that the end folds underneath the parcel. Bake the parcels in a baking dish for 30-35 minutes. Unwrap each parcel and transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter with the juices. This is good with a wild and white rice and sugar snap peas.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND GARLIC PICNIC PASTIES-PARCELS WITH BOURSIN
Delectable litle pasties or pastry parcels filled with tender chunks of chicken breast and French Boursin cream Cheese, delicious! These are so easy to make, as they use cooked chicken breast, making them very handy for any leftovers you might have. France meets England in these pastry parcels, I have taken the idea of a traditional pasty, then added a little French touch with the Boursin cheese, thus dispensing with any need to make a white sauce to bind the chicken! Great for lunch boxes, picnics, lunch, supper or a light meals or snacks.NB: (I would not advise re-heating these, as the chicken has already been cooked twice before - they are just as delicious warm or cold.)

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make it easier to cut the chicken into even-sized pieces.
- Pound the chicken breasts or thighs to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. This will help prevent the chicken from shredding.
- Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the chicken. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Coat the chicken in flour before frying. This will help the chicken brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Fry the chicken in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the chicken parcels with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
