Cut two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approx. 12&#215;18 inches).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>Prep the Base:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lightly brush the center of each foil sheet with olive oil. Arrange the sliced zucchini and red bell pepper to form a bed for the chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. <strong>Season &amp; Layer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place one whole chicken breast on top of the vegetable bed in each packet.
