This parchment paper-baked chicken (poulet en papillote) is great hot or cold, on salads, over rice, or on its own. You can make this as spicy as you like. Tastes amazing, really juicy, quick, and it's healthy!!!
I debated how to rate this. I think the cooking method is absolutely perfect! The chicken comes out ridiculously juicy, just how I like it - my biggest food pet peeve is overcooked, dry chicken, and this is anything but dry! (For reference, my chicken breasts were about 8-10 ounces each and I pounded down the thick end a bit for an even thickness; cooked for 23 mins.) On a not so good note, the flavor is what knocked 2 stars off for me. Not only was there way too much seasoning for 4 breasts, it was incredibly bitter from the paprika, and bland from the lack of salt. I added some salt after cooking, and that helped a lot, but I did not finish my piece of chicken. I would definitely use this method again, but with a different seasoning.
