You’d never guess this Asian-inspired dish of succulent chicken and colorful vegetables in a ginger-spiked broth is baked in aluminum foil packets in the oven. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients • 3 tablespoons honey • 3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce • 2 tablespoons orange juice • 2 teaspoons McCormick® Ground Ginger • 2 cups asparagus pieces (2-inch pieces) • 1 cup julienne-cut carrots • 1 cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper • 4 sheets (12x18-inch each) heavy duty aluminum foil • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound) • 1 tablespoon McCormick® Sesame Seed, toasted
Directions MIX honey, soy sauce, orange juice and ginger in small bowl. Place vegetables in large bowl. Add 1/2 of the honey mixture; toss to coat well.
PLACE 1 cup of the vegetable mixture on each sheet of foil. Top each with 1 chicken breast half. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the remaining honey mixture over each chicken breast half. Sprinkle with sesame seed. Bring up foil sides; double fold top and ends to tightly seal packet. Place foil packets on large baking sheet.
BAKE in preheated 425°F oven 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Place each packet in shallow soup bowl. Carefully cut a slit in the top of each packet. Slide chicken and vegetables into the bowl.
To Toast Sesame Seed: Heat small skillet on medium heat. Add sesame seed; cook and stir 2 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Immediately pour out of hot pan to avoid over-toasting.
