I just found this one and I love it! :)

Mustard Dill Chicken in Foil Packs (Freezer-Friendly)

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plain fat free yogurt
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp dried dill weed
1 pound uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, four pieces.

Preheat overn to 350 F.

Combine mustard, yogurt, garlic salt and dill in a small bowl; throughly coat chicken with mustard sauce.

Tear off 4 sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to wrap each chicken breast individually. Place a prepared chicken breast on each piece of foil; gather foil loosely around chicken and fold over to seal.

Place foil packs on nonstick baking sheet; bake for 20 minutes. Using oven mitts and keeping your face away from steam, open foil. Broil chicken on foil until lightly browned and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Yield's 1 piece of chicken per serving.

Best Lemon Chicken

4 chicken breasts
1/3 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. olive oil
2 T. finely chopped red pepper
1 T. Dijon mustard
2 large garlic cloves--finely chopped
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper

Combine lemon juice, oil, red pepper, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 c. of mixture. Pour remaining marinade over chicken and refrigerate 20 minutes.

Grill chicken, boil or bake, basting with remaining marinade.

It is a great core dinner--just add some rice and veggies. :)
