Who doesn't like getting a present, and these little parcels certainly are a gift. They contain chicken breasts marinated in soy sauce, plum sauce and garlic, paired with vegetables (baby corn, leek, capsicum, carrot and ginger), all wrapped in parchment paper.
I didn't have any string to tie the parcels shut, but that didn't matter - I was able to fold them well enough to keep everything in.
These parcels were very tasty and quick to make, and I like the fact that it was a "one bag" meal (although I paired it with potatoes and beans, this is not necessary).
Go visit Kayte for an alternative view on these parcels.
Next week - Brown buttered beans
Looks just like mine, I must have done something right! My post will be up after midnight tonight (which will then be Wednesday) as I wrote it and banked it yesterday after I made them. They were so good...I will definitely make these again. Yours looks wonderful. Wow, we have done 3 recipes already! It's fun knowing you are making the same thing half a world away! xo
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of sticky chicken!
ReplyDeleteThose sound so good! I've never baked a parcel before, but would like to try it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect diet food which I make very often "en papillote" with a few different ingredients. I love that mini corn which unforunately we don't get in Greece.
ReplyDeleteHehe very true! This is like a little present for the lucky eater :D And I've always folded them shut too :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteLike Lorraine, I always just fold my parchment packages, too. My mom used to make a chicken breast one that had barbeque sauce in it. I think I've only made salmon en papillote, but I think I would really like the combination of soy sauce, plum sauce and garlic. Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteYum! I've seen this recipe before and have been nagging my bf to try but he's too lazy lol i love everything wrapped up like parcels, dumplings, spring rolls :)
