- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:

- Divide the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini evenly between the two foil packets, arranging them around the chicken.
- Drizzle each packet with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
