Quick 30-minute chicken and veggies flavored with Cajun seasoning, garlic, and olive oil. These flavorful flavor packs are super healthy and make a delicious low-carb dinner.
I’m always in the search for quick and simple dinners that are 30 minutes or less. Foil pack dinners are always a great option when you just want a healthy and quick dinner without the bells and whistles. It’s as easy as combining all the ingredients, folding them in foil and baking. Of course, you can always grill them too if it’s summertime or you have access to a grill.
The result is FLAVORFUL and tender chicken and veggies thanks to the vibrant cajun seasoning. The olive oil and garlic make this flavor-packed dish even better. If you’re trying to lose weight or on a low-carb diet, I suggest you eat the chicken and veggies straight out of the foil with a fork. If you want to make this a complete dinner, I suggest serving with cooked brown rice or quinoa or a side of mashed potatoes. 
Foil Pack Cajun Chicken and Veggies
Ingredients
- 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large zucchini, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon EACH garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, ground onion (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450F. Cut 4 sheet of foil into long rectangles (about 12''x12''). Set aside.
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon mixture evenly onto the 4 foil sheets. Fold and seal foil.
- Place foil packs on a cooking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes. Serve chicken from foil packets. Be careful when opening packets; steam is trapped inside.

THis was a huge hit in my house! ThaNks so much for a super easY and delicious meal idea.
Looks good! There’s no cayenne pepper in the ingredients list, but in the video there is. How much?
Hi im looking to make these RECIPES for meal prep i was wondering if its ok to freeze them ? Thanks in ADVANCE
Hi im looking to make these reci for meal prep i was wondering if its ok to frez them ? Thanks in adv
Yes, you should be able to freeze them after baking.
Recipe says 1 teaspoon EACH garlic powder Chili powder, paprika, ground, oregano, salt
What is ground?
Updated the post. It’s ground onion and it’s optional!
such an easy and Great Recipe, thank you! I wondered about a variation: what if i were to cook just one big foil pack? It’s just a hassle for me to cook 4 separate packs because our serving sizes are so varied between the kids and adults. Would it work the same or maybe just split into two?
Yes, it would work the same but you need to bake them at least double the time or keep an eye on them to make sure they’re fully cooked.
Written recipe has cayenne pepper, I found it very spicy and then looking at the video there is no cayenne pepper but chili powder,
Which one is it?
Delicious and super easy /quick clean up Recipe! Thanks for sharing…. It’s going to be a regular dinner in our house with a two year old and a baby on the Way!
If using shrimp will I cook it the same way?
Yes, Cook for 15 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through.
These are so delicious. They are also easy to make as my 13 year old followed your recipe very easily. Thank you! ☺
