Complete meal in a packet

I love easy dinners, and this was one of the easiest. Sadly, I didn't particularly enjoy the flavors, but that might be personal preference as The Husband thought it was alright. I did like the chicken, but I didn't enjoy the mushrooms at all. At least this meal creates ZERO cleanup, as everything is cooked in foil!

Orange Chicken Packets

Ingredients:
1/2 lb baby bella mushrooms, sliced
2 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
4 5-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 slices of orange
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
6 Tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 F. Cut 4 rectangles of aluminum foil.

Layer the mushrooms, pinto beans and garlic into each of the foil rectangles. Lay the chicken breasts on top and season with salt and pepper. Top each chicken breast with an orange slice and drizzle the butter and orange juice concentrate on top.

Bring together the edges of the foil and fold over each other. Seal the ends well.

Place the foil packets on a cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
