Number Of Ingredients 12
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Rub the olive paste on both sides of each chicken breast half.
- Cut the potatoes into 1/16th-inch slices and thinly slice the tomatoes. Set 4 12-inch squares of foil on the counter. Lightly oil the center of each piece of foil and spread some potato slices in the middle; season them with salt and pepper. Cover the potatoes with a chicken breast half, then cover with more potato slices, salt and pepper and the tomato slices. Wrap the chicken airtight, in a deli sandwich wrap, and set the packages on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
- When the chicken is done unwrap the packages carefully (be careful the steam which will escape when you open the packages does not burn your hands.) Transfer the chicken, potatoes, tomatoes and the natural juices to deep plates.
- Variations: Instead of the potatoes spread 1/2 cup drained canned white beans, a couple of slivers of fresh garlic, a leaf or two of fresh sage and a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil underneath the chicken. Top the chicken with the tomatoes. Or spread each chicken breast half with 1 teaspoon each of oriental sesame oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Top each chicken breast half with 1/2 cup sliced jicama; 1 cup raw fresh spinach and 1 sliced scallion. Open and garnish with sesame seeds. Or, instead of the green olive paste and tomatoes, season each chicken breast half with barbecue sauce or ketchup and top with 1/2 cup of frozen corn kernels; leave the potatoes in (especially good for kids)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Spread a large piece of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Invert a 12- or 14-inch round cake pan on it and trace around the edge with a sharp knife to make a circle. Repeat until there are 4.
- Cut off and discard the stem of each mushroom and cut caps into thin slices.
- Cut carrots crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Cut each piece lengthwise into a julienne shape.
- Trim and wash zucchini, and cut in the same fashion.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Place aluminum rounds on a flat surface and brush them with melted butter.
- Place one chicken breast on each round slightly below the center, leaving a margin large enough to fold over.
- Brush the top of each breast with about 2 teaspoons of mustard and place equal quantities of mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, shallots, thyme around each. Sprinkle each serving with a tablespoon of white wine and parsley, and dot with remaining butter. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold foil to completely enclose the contents while leaving some room for expansion. Crimp the seal as tightly as possible. Arrange packages on a baking sheet and bake about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

ASIAN CHICKEN EN PAPILLOTE
Steps:
- Cut each breast filet in half. Place one half on parchment paper, just above the middle. Salt and pepper the filet. Place one half of the other ingredients on the filet. Pour 2 T of the teriyaki marinade on the stacked ingredients, then cover with the other half of the filet. Salt and pepper top filet. Fold up the sides and top of the parchment to make a packet. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place both packets in a microwave proof dish. Cook for 8 minutes on full power. If necessary, cook for one more minute. I served this with spinach and garlic stuffed mushrooms. It was delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500°F. To prepare foil packets, place a sheet of foil directly on top of another; make 4 of these 2-sheet sets. Smear 1 tsp grapeseed oil to the size of a chicken breast in the center of each top sheet. Place 1/2 cup watercress over oil, then place a chicken breast on top of watercress. Sprinkle with pepper. Arrange mangoes and 2 mushroom caps on top of and around each piece of chicken. Crimp the packet edges up slightly. Bring soy sauce, ketchup and vinegar to a boil, then stir in ginger and garlic. Remove the pan from heat and pour 1/4 sauce over each chicken breast. Fold foil over each chicken breast in half and tightly crimp the edges to close the packets. Heat a baking sheet in the oven 1 minute and place the 4 packets on the sheet. Bake 12 minutes, then remove from oven. Slit the top of the packets to serve (be careful; steam will come out), or let diners open their own packets.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN EN PAPILLOTE
This recipe was in our local newspaper recently, posted by Nadine Fownes, the Food Columnist. I made it last night for friends and it was delicious and well received. We were late getting home from a basketball game and our guests arrived before I had finished prepping the ingredients. As a result everyone gathered in the kitchen while I finished dicing and chopping. Then I had my partner read out how much went in each "package" and the assembly became entertainment. The colour mix is wonderful and the the combination of flavours outstanding. The parchment paper I had was not easily folded and secured so I ended up putting a staple in each end to keep it secure. The wine wasn't added until the last step when 2 of the 3 sides were fastened!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare ingredients and line them up on the counter.
- Take four parchment paper squares and place two squares on each of two baking sheets.
- Starting with chicken, divide cubes among parchment sheets.
- Next, divide tomatoes among the squares, followed by chopped sun-dried tomatoes, pepper strips, sliced onion, chopped garlic, olives and crumbled feta.
- Season each mound with salt and pepper, then dribble a little white wine and olive oil over each mound. Sprinkle in herbs; top each with a lemon slice.
- To wrap packages: Pick up one corner of the parchment paper and fold over to meet opposing corner, line up the edges taking care to keep all ingredients inside the paper. Starting at one end, fold over the edges and crimp to make a fairly tight seal all the way around. Place package on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining parchment squares.
- Slide baking sheets into preheated oven and bake 25 minutes.
- While the packets are baking, make a side-dish such as plain steamed rice or quinoa.
- When packets are finished, slide each onto a plate, make a tiny tear in the centre of each package so a little steam can escape (be careful of the hot steam) and serve right away.
- Note: Recipe makes four servings, but ingredient amounts can easily be scaled up or down to make more or fewer servings.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. The bones and skin help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Use a variety of vegetables. Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables in this recipe. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Season the chicken and vegetables well. Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices that you enjoy.
- Fold the parchment paper packets tightly. This will help to keep the steam inside the packets and cook the chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Cook the packets for the correct amount of time. Overcooking the chicken will make it dry and tough. Undercooking the chicken will make it unsafe to eat.
Conclusion:
Chicken en papillote is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy option, as it is low in fat and calories. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken en papillote a try. You won't be disappointed!
