CHICKEN BAKED IN FOIL WITH SWEET POTATO AND RADISH RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Spray centers of four 20 by 12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil with vegetable oil spray. Microwave oil, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes in small bowl until garlic begins to brown, 1 to 1½ minutes. Combine potato slices, radishes, celery, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and garlic oil in large bowl. 2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle ⅛ teaspoon salt evenly over each side of each chicken breast, then season with pepper. Position 1 piece of prepared foil with long side parallel to counter edge. In center of foil, arrange one-quarter of potato slices in 2 rows perpendicular to counter edge. Lay 1 chicken breast on top of potato slices. Place one-quarter of vegetables around chicken. Repeat with remaining foil, potato slices, chicken, and vegetables. Drizzle any remaining oil mixture from bowl over chicken. 3. Bring short sides of foil together and crimp to seal tightly. Crimp remaining open ends of packets, leaving as much headroom as possible inside packets. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. 4. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Arrange packets on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until chicken registers 160 degrees, 18 to 23 minutes. (To check temperature, poke thermometer through foil and into chicken.) Let chicken rest in packets for 3 minutes. 5. Transfer chicken packets to individual dinner plates, carefully open (steam will escape), and slide contents onto plates. Drizzle vinegar over chicken and vegetables and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve. Leave headroom (empty space) at the top to facilitate steam circulation. Arrange carrots and onions next to the chicken. Place potato slices on the bottom to insulate the chicken. EXTRA CREDIT: Place one packet on extra foil. After you've poked a thermometer through the packet to check the temperature of the chicken, you can reseal the packet with the extra sheet.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, mix together vinegar and honey. Mix in half the red onion and a pinch of salt and set aside for garnish, tossing the mixture occasionally as the chicken cooks.
• In a large bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, coriander and black pepper. Add chicken to bowl and rub the mixture all over it. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together 2 tablespoons oil, sweet potato, pepper, remaining onion, sage, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, cayenne and allspice. Spread vegetables out on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to marinated chicken and turn to coat. Place chicken pieces, skin-side up, among the vegetables, making sure chicken is surrounded by them, but not on top of them. (Chicken should rest directly on the baking sheet.)
• Roast for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and raise heat to 450 degrees. Use a wide spatula to flip vegetables over (but not chicken). Drizzle chicken (but not vegetables) with 2 teaspoons liquid from the onion-vinegar mixture. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
• To serve, top chicken and vegetables with a spoonful of onion-vinegar mixture and plenty of cilantro leaves.

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut an 18-inch wide roll of heavy-duty aluminum foil into six 12-inch long pieces.
• Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, so the thickest part is about 1/2 inch thick and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set each seasoned chicken breast onto a single piece of aluminum foil.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sliced carrots, parsnip, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir to combine vegetables with the seasoned oil. Set an even amount of vegetables on top of each piece of chicken.
• Top vegetables with a whole slice of red onion and place a sprig of fresh rosemary on top of the onion.
• Fold aluminum like a book cover over the top of each serving and crimp the edges all around tightly together.
• Place foil packets with the chicken on the bottom onto a 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Watch out for any steam when you check the chicken for doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove foil packets from the oven, open the packets, and serve immediately.

OVEN FOIL-PACK HONEY DIJON CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F or heat gas or charcoal grill for direct grilling. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of foil. In medium bowl, mix melted butter, honey, mustard and seasoning. Add chicken, and turn to coat; set aside.
• In large microwavable bowl, microwave sweet potatoes uncovered on High 5 to 7 minutes or until fork tender. Carefully divide potatoes among the 4 pieces of foil. Top with bell pepper chunks. Top each with chicken breast and sauce.
• For each packet, bring up 2 sides of foil over chicken and vegetables so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• If baking, place packets on cookie sheet, and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). If grilling, place packets on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 18 to 20 minutes, rotating packets one-half turn after 10 minutes, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).
• Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil. Top with green onions.

• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is tender and no longer pink in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
