This is probably old news to some (or most!), but as I was looking up healthy recipees I found a link to cooking salmon & asparagus in foil in the oven. I decided to do the same thing with a frozen breast of chicken.
I sprayed a dab of non-stick spray on the foil and put the chicken in the center. I seasoned it a little and then folded the edges so the chicken was sealed inside with a little breathing room. I put the oven on 375 and after 45 minutes I had the most tender juicy chicken I've EVER had! Now I know how chicken is suppose to taste! Usually when I do it in the oven, or on the stove it turns out hard, rubbery and tough. My knife sliced through the chicken like butter.
I highly reccomend cooking your chicken this way if you haven't tried it!

Funny that you should write this! As I am sitting here typing, my chicken breast wrapped in foil is already in the oven cooking for my dinner!
I used a bit of low fat greek salad dressing for marinade/seasoning. I was being lazy. Also yummy and healthy... lemon & pepper or soy sauce & garlic & ginger.

I tried this last night for dinner and it turned out great! I took fresh skinless chicken breast and put them into 2 foil packs. For one I included fresh asparagus, mushrooms and onions with a splash of balsamic. The other I used asparagus, mushrooms and onions as well but used a splash of soy sauce and minced ginger. My wife and I both agreed the ginger chicken was the best....
We also had a wicked wind storm here last night so right before I was going to put the packs into the oven, the electric went out. So I waited for 20 minutes or so and decided to use the grill. I kept the grill at 375f to 400f and rested the chicken packs on the top rack for about 50 minutes. Despite the wind blowing out the grill twice and the constant monitoring of the temperature, this proved to be just as good as the oven.
Thanks for the idea!!

foil wrapped works really well on the BBQ too (i know this forum is really old btw...but im reviving it ok!)
I make tandoori chicken on the bbq by marinading a butterflied chicken breast overnight with tandoori paste & a dollop of low fat natural yogurt then the next day i wrap it in foil & put it on a hot bbq, it takes about 10 minutes to cook (turn it after 5)
Serve it with wild rice, steamed string beans & a tablespoon of riata

I usually take some foil and fasion it into a bowl. I then make a bed of brocolli, baby carrots, and some onions. Then you put about 8 ounces of water in with it and sit 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast on top of the veggies and season the chicken to taste. I usually put black pepper and chives on mine...Wrap it up in aluminum foil and poke some steam holes in it and then bake it at 450 degrees for about 40 minutes and enjoy.
I work at a pizza place and we use a brick oven to cook in. I usually wrap up everything before work and then when I get hungry I just throw it on a pizza pan and stick it in the oven...Alot of customers say its one of the best smells they've smelt come out of the kitchen...lol.

| Just had to add my favorite way to cook chicken in foil. Marinate chicken in a combination of orange juice, garlic and red pepper flakes. Drizzle some of it over the chicken, wrap it up in a foil packet and then cook. It's a nice, subtle citrus flavor with a little bit of zing from the red pepper flakes. Mmmmm...

You know I hate to even say this, but this also works good for hambuger with potatos and carrots. We do it on the grill when camping. It is the best.
But, not as healthy as chicken of couse.
