2. Cut Foil Squares: Cut out four 10-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

3. Oil the Foil: Pour 1 tablespoon of oil onto each foil square, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

4. Season Chicken: Place one chicken breast onto each foil square. Sprinkle the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

5. Prepare Vegetables: In a bowl, combine the chopped red onion, diced green pepper, dried parsley, and diced tomatoes. Toss the vegetables together until well mixed.

6. Top Chicken with Vegetables: Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, distributing it among the four foil packets.

7. Fold and Seal Foil Packets: Carefully fold the foil over the chicken and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create packets that will hold in the juices and steam during cooking.

8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.

9. Cook: Bake the foil-wrapped chicken for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

10. Serve: Remove the foil packets from the oven, being careful of the hot steam trapped inside. Carefully open the packets, allowing the steam to escape, and transfer the chicken and vegetables to serving plates.

11. Enjoy: Serve the foil-wrapped chicken hot, with your favorite side dishes or enjoy it as a standalone meal.
