Instructions
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Slice each chicken breast on the bias, into three or four equally thick pieces.
Place chicken in large bowl and toss with the onion, pepper, tomatoes, Za'atar, oil, parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Lay four 12- by 12-inch pieces of parchment on work surface.
Place mounds of the mixture (about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide) a few inches off the center of each square of parchment paper. Take care to equally divide the veggies and chicken between each serving.
Place slices of lemon on top.
Working one package at a time, fold the parchment over the mixture. Starting at one corner, fold over the edges of the paper in small increments to form a tightly sealed half-moon shape. Repeat with remaining packets.
Place the packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes (see note above).
Transfer each packet directly to a serving plate and serve, breaking open the packets at the table.
