Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).

If the frozen baby carrots are still icy, thaw them by running them under cold tap water until soft.

Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water, then pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel to ensure even cooking.

Set up 4 Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil bags on a clean work surface and open each one.

Inside each foil bag, place one chicken breast, followed by an even distribution of the thawed baby carrots, drained mushrooms, and sweet red pepper strips.

In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a dash of ground red pepper until combined.

Evenly drizzle the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in each foil bag.
8
After adding the sauce, carefully close the ends of each foil bag securely, making sure they are tightly sealed to trap in the flavors.

Arrange the foil packets on a large baking pan (15 x 10 x 1 inches) and place in the preheated oven.
