Time 30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 T butter
3 T white wine
Juice from 1/2 lemon
2 large mushrooms, sliced
1 half skinless, boneless chicken breasts or 1/3 pound chicken cutlets
2 T grated parmesan cheese
8 asparagus, trimmed to fit on top of the chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Tear off a 24" piece of parchment paper and fold in half. Cut a large oval shape as per the head notes above the recipe.
  • Melt the butter in a bowl large enough to also hold the mushrooms. Brush the bottom half of the folded oval parchment paper with a little butter, leaving a 3" margin around the edges that is not buttered.
  • Add the wine and lemon juice to the remaining melted butter and stir to combine. Add the sliced mushrooms to the bowl and toss. set aside.
  • Lay the chicken on the buttered parchment close to the fold. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 1 T parmesan cheese.
  • Layer the asparagus on top of the chicken and the mushrooms on top of the asparagus, drizzling the remaining liquids over the chicken and vegetable stack. Seal the edges by making small folds beginning at the edge near the fold and continuing all around the packet, leaving some air space for the food to steam. See photos in the headnotes above the recipe. Sometimes I fold over twice to get a good seal.
  • Place on a baking sheet and bake for 18 to about 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken. If in doubt check the internal temperature of the chicken with a thermometer.
  • Remove from the oven and cut a small "X" in the top of the parchment. Place on a plate and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
Pinch of sugar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
20 to 24 thin asparagus spears, trimmed
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
20 Kalamata olives, pitted
3 artichoke hearts, steamed and quartered
8 basil leaves, torn
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar, and a pinch each of sugar, salt, and pepper together. Continue to whisk while slowly drizzling olive oil in until completely combined.
  • Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper into 16-by-18-inch pieces. Fold each sheet in half lengthwise, then open and place on a work surface. Divide asparagus evenly among the four pieces of parchment; place them on the left side of the fold near the crease, centered evenly between the top and bottom of the parchment paper. Place a chicken breast on top of each bed of asparagus. Drizzle with about 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Top chicken breasts with tomatoes, olives, artichokes, basil, and feta. Drizzle each with about 1 tablespoon more vinaigrette.
  • Fold the right half of one parchment paper over contents and, starting with the top right corner, form a half-moon packet making small but tight pleats all the way around to seal completely. Repeat process to form remaining packets.
  • Transfer the packets to rimmed baking sheets and cook for 25 to 28 minutes. To serve, place packets directly on each of four plates and use kitchen shears or a sharp knife tip to open packets at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables. This will ensure that your dish is flavorful and nutritious.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will enhance their flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color and texture to your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the parchment paper. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
  • Fold the parchment paper tightly. This will create a sealed packet that will trap the steam and cook the vegetables.
  • Cook the vegetables according to the recipe instructions. Overcooking will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

En papillote is a healthy and flavorful way to cook vegetables. It is a simple technique that can be used with a variety of vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
