Cooking Chicken as a tin foil "parcel"

does anyone do this??

What temp?
How long?
What's nice to put with it?!!!!

I'm thinking garlic, olive oil, etc would it need any more liquid?


Thanks :D

  • Hi,

    I often do this with chicken breasts or a piece of fish. Wrap in foil with sliced onions, garlic, peppers or whatever you fancy really.. if you want liquid I would suggest either lemon juice if using fish with some lovely herbs or sliced tomato with the chicken to keep it moist. Chicken takes about 25-30 mins just make sure its cooked through and not pink... 180 degrees. Fish slightly less time, works well with any white fish or salmon.

    I usually serve with rice but you could do any carb or/and veg..

    Is there a reason to do this rather than in a casserole with a lid :confused: I try not to use foil too much, as it can't be reused :D

    Do be careful with acidic ingredients (such as vinegar or lemon juice) and foil - the acid reacts with the aluminium foil, which really isn't good for you to ingest :eek:

    Hi

    Jamie Oliver did some recipes like this. He put some cannelini beans in as well I think.

    If you look on his website you'll find some recipes.
