Chicken Breasts Cooked In Parchment Paper

Who knew that cooking could be this easy?!

Chicken Breasts Cooked In Parchment Paper

I just cannot believe how easy it is to cook a meal in parchment paper.  The chicken breasts came out very tender and flavorful. If you have not tried this
method of cooking before you might want to give it a try.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 8 Strips of Organic Bacon
  • ½ Cup Chopped Green Onions
  • 6 Chopped Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Cup Salsa
  • ½ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 1 Chopped Jalapeno Pepper

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 350° F.  In two large pieces of parchment paper place 4 strips each of the organic bacon.  On top of the bacon sprinkle the chopped green onions, chopped jalapeno and chopped garlic.  Place the chicken breasts on top of the bacon pile and salt and pepper the tops of the chicken.  Place ½ cup salsa on top of each chicken breast.  Close up the parchment paper up around the contents and tie the top with butcher string.  Place in a baking pan and cook for 1 ½ hours.  Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.  Open the parchment packages and transfer to either a serving platter or individual plates.  Serve with a green salad and diced pineapple.  Serves 2.

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.
