Dijon Garlic Chicken Packets

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 large carrots, cut into matchstick size
• 2 potatoes, sliced very thin
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced thin
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon tarragon
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon low sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced

Recipe

• 1 important: take care to slice the vegetables thinly so that they will be cooked at the same time as the chicken when the timer goes off.
• 2 tear off 6 pieces of foil about 12 x 16 each.
• 3 with the shiny side facing up, portion out the matchstick sized carrots in the center of each piece of foil.
• 4 then carefully fan out 4-6 of the thin potato slices atop each of the carrot 'piles'.
• 5 then place one or two of the thin onion slices atop each of the carrot/potato 'piles'.
• 6 then flatten out (with your meat mallet) each chicken breast just large enough so you can place each one atop each of the carrot/potato/onion 'piles' covering them completely; everything should be nicely hidden under that chicken!
• 7 now for the sauce---mix together the mustard, pepper, tarragon, lime juice, chicken broth and minced garlic.
• 8 with a small spoon, carefully add some of the sauce equally atop all chicken breasts.
• 9 now you need to loosely seal the foil packets but do not fold them flat.
• 10 by folding them securely, but loosely, you should have a pocket of empty space around the food inside; this is important because steam will be created and that is what cooks the food.
• 11 place the sealed packets in a 13 x 9 pan or on a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan.
• 12 bake them in a 400° oven for 30 minutes.
• 13 to serve, simply place each packet on a dinner plate and all your guests need to do is cut a slit in the foil to access their meal!
