BAKED CHICKEN PACKETS

I got this from my Mother, one of my favorite chicken recipes. You can make it at night, refrigerate, and bake the next day. You can also deep-fry it instead of baking.

Time 37m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized chunks
1/4-1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar (I use 1/2 tbsp white, 1/2 tbsp malt)
1 tablespoon oil (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ginger
pepper, to taste

Steps:

Mix all ingredients, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
To make packets: Cut out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Divide chicken mixture into 4 equal amounts, and place onto the foil.
Bring up sides of foil to completely cover the chicken.
Double fold the other sides to form packets (Don't make it too tight).
Bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated 450F degrees oven on a cookie sheet.
(Be careful when opening the packets, they are hot!).
Serve with french fries, or rice.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of a uniform thickness. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up whatever vegetables you have on hand. Some good options include broccoli, zucchini, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms.
Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and other seasonings. This will help to flavor the chicken and vegetables.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough.
Let the chicken packets rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken and vegetables, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken packets are a quick, easy, and delicious way to cook chicken and vegetables. They are perfect for busy weeknight dinners or for a simple weekend meal. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations on this basic recipe. So experiment with different vegetables, seasonings, and even different types of protein. The possibilities are endless!
