Cooking the chicken in parcels ensures that they are super moist and tender when they are ready to serve.
Ingredients
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced diagonally
- 4 small (about 150g each) chicken breast fillets
- 60g butter, chopped
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 4 small fresh tarragon sprigs
- Steamed green beans, to serve
- Baby rocket, to serve
- Steamed chat potatoes, halved, to serve
Equipment
- You'll need four x 22cm pieces of baking paper
Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced.
- Step 2Place 1 piece baking paper on a flat surface. Place 1/4 of the carrot in centre. Top with 1 chicken breast fillet and 1/4 of the butter, wine and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Bring 2 sides of the paper up to the centre and fold to seal. Roll up the ends to enclose. Place on a baking tray. Repeat with remaining baking paper, carrot, chicken, butter, wine and tarragon.
- Step 3Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Carefully open parcels, allowing steam to escape. Toss beans through rocket. Serve chicken with potatoes and rocket mixture.
