   1                    Lemon wedge, for garnish

  For this dish, all the vegetables can be cut up the night before and
  left well-wrapped in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. Thirty
  minutes before dinner, assemble your packets while the oven preheats,
  then you're set to go.
  
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  
  2. Combine vegetables, garlic and 2 teaspoons parsley in a bowl. Toss
  with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt and pepper.
  
  3. Take a large, heavy piece of aluminum foil, about 18" long, and
  fold in half crosswise. Place the chicken breast half in center of
  one side of the foil. Brush with remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and
  sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Surround with the
  seasoned vegetables.
  
  4. Fold remaining half of foil over chicken and vegetables. Crimp
  edges together to make a tightly sealed packet. Place on a baking
  sheet and bake in center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  
  5. Place cooked pasta on a dinner plate or in a shallow bowl. Serve
  chicken and vegetables atop pasta. Sprinkle with remaining teaspoon of
  parsley. Serve with a lemon wedge alongside.
