Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Dissolve the creamed coconut with 3 tbsp boiling water and mix to a smooth paste. Stir in the sugar, fish sauce and curry paste.
- Place a large piece of baking parchment on a baking sheet. Arrange the sweet potato and pepper in the middle of the paper, clearing a space in the centre. Lay the chicken breast in the space and pour over the sauce. Fold over the top edges of the parchment to form a seal and scrunch up the ends like a sweet wrapper.
- Cook in the oven for 25-30 mins or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Sit the parcel on a dinner plate or shallow bowl and carefully open. Sprinkle with coriander and squeeze over some lime juice, to taste.

CURRIED CHICKEN PARCELS
This is so easy to make, but everybody loves it. I found it in a magazine a few months ago and have made it quite a few times since. They are nice eaten hot or cold, so ideal to take on a picnic. If I make them for a picnic I usually make them half the size. The coriander in this recipe refers to fresh coriander leaves/cilantro.

Steps:
- For each breast, remove the loose fillet from the underside and flatten that, along with the breast, between sheets of plastic wrap, using a rolling pin or mallet.
- Place a piece of cheese on each breast and cover with the fillet; season well with the pepper and make sure the chicken wraps around the cheese.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the bacon in half lengthwise; use 4 pieces to wrap around each packet the long way.
- Cut remaining bacon in half crosswise; wrap across each packet to form 2 crosses and secure with toothpicks.
- Place parcels in a baking dish and roast, basting with the butter, for 30 to 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Prep your potatoes: First, wash and peel your potatoes. Then, cut them into 1-inch cubes. You can also use baby potatoes, which don't need to be peeled.
- Season your chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble your parcels: Cut a large sheet of parchment paper in half. Place one piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. On each piece of parchment paper, place two chicken breasts and two potatoes. Fold the parchment paper over the chicken and potatoes, and crimp the edges to seal the parcels.
- Bake the parcels: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Carefully open the parcels and transfer the chicken and potatoes to a plate. Serve with your favorite sides, such as a salad or roasted vegetables.
