Easily prepared from garden and pantry items, this healthy dish is tasty, but a bit bland.
Zucchini are sliced, salted, and water squeezed out. They are mixed with oil, garlic, and herbs, as are some tomatoes. These two vegetables sandwich a piece of chicken, and the whole thing is sealed in foil packets, and baked.
One nice thing about this dish is that there few dishes are dirtied once the packets are in the oven, and they cook just the right amount of time to get the kitchen cleaned up.
I served this with short-grain brown rice (my favorite). Substituted thighs for breasts, and lime for the lemon. The basil was pretty much lost, I didn't taste it, despite it being lovely fresh leaves from my garden. But the tomatoes were wonderful.
Just OK, nothing amazing.
