Steps:
- To make the bags, cut four large pieces of parchment paper, each about 35cm/14in square. Cut the chicken into strips. Tip the vegetables and stir-fry sauce into a large bowl and mix well.
- To fill the bags, add the chicken and noodles and mix well. Pile a quarter of the mixture in the middle of each piece of parchment paper. Make a parcel by folding two sides of the paper into the centre and folding them together to seal, then folding and tucking under the cut paper edges. Repeat with the rest of the paper and ingredients, then put them in the fridge (they will keep there for up to a day).
- Microwave the parcels one at a time on High (850W) for 5-6 minutes. Serve with soy sauce for splashing.

BROWN BAG CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Rinse the chicken, pat dry, and remove any excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper to taste inside and out. Place the onion and rosemary inside the cavity and rub the outside of the chicken with the paprika.
- Lay a standard-size brown paper grocery bag on its side and place the chicken inside, tying the top of the bag closed with kitchen string. Place the bagged chicken on a rimmed baking sheet in the lower third of the oven, so you have plenty of room at the top. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, remove the chicken from the oven, and carefully open the bag to release the steam. Check for doneness by inserting an internal thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh; it should read about 165°F and the juices should run clear when the thigh is pierced with the tip of a small knife. Let rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Slice the breasts and cut the wings, legs, and thighs into pieces. Serve warm.
SLOW-COOKER DIJON CHICKEN WITH BARLEY AND MUSHROOMS
This glossy, risottolike dish is inspired by the French bistro classic of chicken in tarragon-mustard sauce. Here, those flavors are transformed into a whole-grain, one-pot weeknight meal: The barley, mushrooms and chicken cook together first, then just before eating, finish with a bag of frozen peas and a tangy mixture of crème fraîche (or sour cream) and Dijon. Make the dish vegetarian by omitting the chicken and using your favorite vegetable broth, but add about ½ cup more liquid, to substitute for the chicken juices.

Steps:
- In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the barley, mushrooms, chicken, chicken broth, lemon juice, white wine, garlic, thyme, salt, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine, then cook for 3 hours on high.
- At first it will seem like there is too much liquid, but the dish will thicken as it cools, and as you stir. Stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through, about 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche and mustard, then fold it into the barley mixture. The chicken thighs should be falling apart; break them into coarse chunks with a spatula. Taste and add more mustard for a stronger flavor, if desired. Stir in the chopped tarragon and serve. Pass Parmesan at the table for topping.
Tips:
- Choose the right size bag: The bag should be large enough to hold the chicken and all of the vegetables, but not so large that there is a lot of extra air inside. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Use a variety of vegetables: You can use any vegetables that you like, but some good options include potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, and broccoli. Make sure to cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Season the chicken and vegetables: You can use any seasonings that you like, but some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add a little bit of olive oil to help the seasonings stick to the chicken and vegetables.
- Seal the bag tightly: Once you have added all of the ingredients to the bag, seal it tightly. You can use a vacuum sealer or a regular zip-top bag. If you are using a regular zip-top bag, make sure to press out all of the air before sealing it.
- Cook the chicken: You can cook the chicken in a variety of ways, but some good options include baking it, roasting it, or grilling it. The cooking time will vary depending on the method that you choose.
Conclusion:
Cooking chicken in a bag is a great way to create a delicious and healthy meal. It is a simple and easy method that can be used to cook a variety of dishes. The chicken and vegetables are cooked in their own juices, which helps to keep them moist and flavorful. This method is also a great way to save time and energy, as it requires minimal cleanup.
