Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) with a baking sheet inside. Cut the chicken and vegetables into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Add the chicken and veggies to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; toss until fully coated.
Divide the mixture between two foil sheets, seal into packets, and bake on the hot sheet for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor: Dried herbs work fine in a pinch, but fresh ones like rosemary, thyme, or parsley add a brighter, more aromatic taste.
Cut vegetables evenly: This helps them cook at the same rate as the chicken, preventing some pieces from turning mushy while others stay undercooked.
Cover with foil while baking: The foil traps steam and keeps the chicken juicy while allowing the vegetables to soften perfectly.
Let it rest before serving: Giving the dish a few minutes to cool helps the flavors blend and keeps the juices from spilling out too quickly when you slice the chicken.
