MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN EN PAPILLOTE

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.

• Tear 4 20x2 inch pieces of parchment, fold in half crosswise, crease, open up again, and arrange 1/4 vegetable mixture on paper. Top with 1/4 of chicken and 1/4 of the green onions. Now make into a little package by folding the parchment over so the corners match up and crimping and folding the edges over. Twist corners to secure. Repeat 3 more times so you have 4 packets.
• Place 2 packets on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until chicken is done.

• 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.

CHICKEN EN PAPILOTTE MANY WAYS

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)

CHICKEN EN PAPILLOTE

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.
