Chicken And Vegetables In Parchment Paper…Unwrap A Delicious Dinner

If you’re looking for a simple, yet elegant way to serve a plain old chicken breast…this is it! Just wrap up your chicken and veggies in a sheet of parchment paper and I guarantee your guests and your family will be impressed!  They’ll never know how easy it was…unless you decide to tell them. (It will be OUR little secret, OK?)

We’ve all heard of “one pot wonders” so just consider this dish to be a “fancy” version using parchment paper instead of a pot! And when each steaming packet of goodness is “opened” by your guests at the table, it’s a sure show stopper.

It’s like giving each guest their own colorful gift to unwrap…and who doesn’t like presents?

So…Here is how to make these individual parchment packages.

• Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
• Place a large leaf of romaine lettuce on the paper. (And yes…you can eat this cooked lettuce!)
• Next place a piece of chicken breast on the lettuce leaf. (About 6-8 ounce)
• Sprinkle with a dry rub or simply with salt and pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, toss together a variety of vegetables, and make sure they are cut to similar sizes so they will cook evenly.
• Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
• Add a small drizzle of extra virgin oil and a few tablespoons of white wine if you have it.
• Add some fresh herbs if you have them. (I use herbs like thyme, onion chives, parsley, dill)
• Mix all together and pile the veggies on top of each chicken breast, dividing equally.
