Method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC / Fan 200ºC.
Place a large square of foil on a baking tray (about 30 cm x 30 cm), and coat with a fine layer of spray oil.
In the centre of the foil, layer the slices of sweet potato and onion. Around the sweet potato, place the cherry tomatoes.
Top with the chicken breast and season with the dried herbs and black pepper.
Pull up the sides of the foil and seal, leaving space in the parcel for steam to circulate.
Place in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes.
Check the chicken is cooked through before serving.

If you don’t have these veggies in the cupboard, try what you do have – any veg will work in this simple recipe. Also, if you like your food a bit spicy, you can add some paprika to the dish for extra seasoning.
