CHICKEN BREASTS IN PARCHMENT



Chicken Breasts in Parchment image

"En Papillote" is French for "in parchment," and is a classic and healthy cooking technique. The chicken and vegetables steam in their parchment parcel, adding loads of flavour with a minimum of fat.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tbsp butter, melted
2 tomatoes, large, sliced
4 green onions, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, chopped
1 tsp tarragon, dried
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
¼ cup white wine
4 sheets parchment paper, rectangles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut parchment into a 12 in x 12 in square or cut into a big heart shape of approximately the same size.
  • With a pastry brush, coat one side of parchment paper with butter. Sprinkle with green onions and ¼ cup (60 mL) of mushrooms. Place 1 chicken breast on top and sprinkle with tarragon. Top with 2 slices of tomato. Sprinkle tomato with basil and parsley and 1 Tbsp (30 mL) of white wine.
  • Secure parchment paper by tightly folding the paper closed on all ends. Leave some space in the parchment for steam to circulate and cook the food, about an inch on all sides. Repeat with remaining 3 chicken breasts.
  • Place parcels on baking dish and put in oven. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The parchment parcel should puff and brown slightly.
  • Remove parcels from oven. Open parcels and remove chicken and vegetables and place on individual plates. Serve with your favourite rice, salad potatoes, or pasta.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound baby bok choy, trimmed and leaves separated
12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 bunch thyme
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 6 ounces each), pounded 1/2 inch thick
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss together bok choy leaves, tomatoes, shallot, 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, and oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dividing evenly, place bok choy mixture on one side of crease on each piece of parchment, then top with chicken and 2 thyme sprigs. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon wine. Fold parchment over, then make small overlapping pleats to seal and create half-moon-shaped packets.
  • Bake on 2 rimmed baking sheets until chicken is cooked through, 22 minutes. Transfer to plates; serve immediately, carefully cutting packets open with kitchen shears.

HEALTHIER BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Use whichever spice combinations you prefer. The key to baking white meat without it getting dry is topping it with butter and wrapping it in parchment paper. It locks in the moisture and is tender and juicy every single time. The paper absorbs most all of the butter so you are not actually consuming it.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon parsley flakes
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (12 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons butter
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix garlic powder, paprika, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub all sides of each chicken breast in olive oil and coat all sides with the spice rub. Place on a baking sheet. Top each breast with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cover each breast with parchment paper and tuck the paper underneath, creating a sealed pouch.
  • Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the oven and let rest 5 minutes.
