  • 1/2 medium onion sliced
  • 1 cup halved grape tomatoes

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees for packets or 350 degrees for one pan
  2. In medium bowl whisk garlic, vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, ground mustard, thyme & sugar; slowly drizzle in oil whisking constantly
  3. Stir in onion & tomatoes
  4. Tear four 12 X 24-inch sheets aluminum foil
  5. In center of each sheet, evenly divide half of the tomato mixture
  6. Place 1 chicken breast over the tomato mixture & evenly top each chicken with remaining tomato mixture
  7. For each packet, tightly crimp top & bottom sides of foil over chicken; fold & tightly crimp both ends of foil
  8. Place packets on rimmed baking pan; bake about 45 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 160 degrees
  9. Carefully open top of packets; evenly sprinkle with croutons & cheese
  10. Reseal packets; let stand 3 minutes or until cheese melts. (internal temperature of chicken will rise to 165 degrees)
  11. Open packets; evenly sprinkle with basil (optional chives & parsley)
We did not make it into 4 packets. We thinly sliced the chicken breast into 4 to 5 cutlets per chicken breast. We lined a 7 1/2 X 12 pan with foil then place foil on the top of the pan. Follow the same instructions as if using individual portions for cooking the chicken.
