The ingredients used for the sauce in this light and healthy chicken recipe adds so much flavor to chicken breasts. The chicken breasts, topped with some of the sauce, are individually wrapped in foil prior to cooking, which helps to retain the natural juices and the tenderness of the meat as it cooks.

Place one chicken breast on 10"x10" piece of heavy aluminum foil.
Brush each breast with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet.
Saute shallot and garlic until just tender, 2-3 minutes.
Add mushrooms and sautÃƒÂ© about 10 more minutes.
Add rosemary, thyme, and tomatoes and saute over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 more minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in broth (or wine) and lemon zest.
Taste to check seasoning.
Divide sauce, spooning over each chicken breast on foil.
Fold foil over, or bring up sides and crimp edges tightly to seal.
Place on grill and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes or place in oven and bake about 20 minutes.
Serve hot. Great with hot cooked brown rice.
