Roast chicken in greaseproof paper

0 Rating   Comments 0
This is a cracker of a dish to cook at home. Give it a go and it will fill the air with the most fantastic smells. A diet delicacy provided the cheese and skin of the chicken have been previously removed.

In a large bowl put the chicken servings, cut vegetables, mustard, cheese, oil, herbs and season with salt and pepper. Give everything a good toss, cover the bowl and leave it in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours. Occasionally give the chicken a good toss so as it gets well infused with the marinade. Lay the six sheets of the greaseproof paper on a working surface and divide the chicken mix between them. Lift the corners of each sheet, bring them together and tie them with a piece of string in the shape of a purse. Get yourself an appropriate sized baking tray and arrange the parcels in. Bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C for 1 h and 15 minutes. Serve the purses in 6 different plates, hold them and using a knife cut them open. Accompany them with a fresh green salad.
