Serves: 4
Total Calories: 219

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds)
8 roma (plum) tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch slices
4 small zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 cup basil pesto

Directions:

Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Place 1 chicken breast half, 2 sliced tomatoes and 1 sliced zucchini on 1 side of each of 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, 18 12 inches. Spoon 2 tablespoons pesto over chicken mixture. Fold other half of foil over chicken and vegetables so edges meet. Seal edges, making a tight 1/2-inch fold fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion. Repeat folding to seal each side.
Cover and grill packets 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 20 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Place foil packets on plates. To serve, cut a large X across top of packet fold back foil.
