Foil pack cajun chicken and veggies is an incredibly easy dinner idea that is totally customizable. This is my go-to recipe for cooking chicken breast without drying out, loaded with vegetables and seasoned with homemade cajun seasonings. Super convenient and simple!
Foil Pack Cajun Chicken And Veggie
You may be wondering why a foil pack dinner? Well, foil packs are a brilliant idea of cooking chicken and veggies because it contains both the veggies and the chicken sealed inside the foil pack which keeps the chicken juicy and the veggies so tender and prevents them from getting dry in the oven.
All you have to do is mix any veggies you have in the fridge with the chicken breast and season with the cajun seasonings then bake and enjoy! A super healthy and easy dinner.
My family love these cajun chicken foil packets so much, they are perfect for lunch as well as dinner.
