Directions
| Step 1 | Pre-heat oven to 200C/400f/gas mark 6. Spray the tinfoil sheets with the Frylight low-fat oil. |
| Step 2 | Place the sliced potatoes in the middle of the tinfoil, followed by the red peppers, onions, carrots and the strips of chicken. |
| Step 3 | Season to taste with salt and pepper, then spoon the chutney (or BBQ sauce) over the top of the chicken and vegetables. |
| Step 4 | Bring up the sides of the tinfoil and seal to make a parcel, making sure that the chicken doesn't touch the foil - you want room inside of the parcels for the air to circulate and the food to cook in the steam. |
| Step 5 | Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake in the pre-heated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are soft. |
| Step 6 | Open the parcels being careful not to be burnt by the escaping steam, and slide the chicken and vegetables onto warm plates. Serve with steamed broccoli or seasonal greens of your choice. |
| Step 7 | The parcels are 5 Smart Points on the Weight Watchers diet and 180 calories on the 5:2 Diet for fast days. |
