Thai Style Chicken Breasts In Foil Recipes

THAI CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• combine the gingerrot, garlic and red pepper flakes in a cup and set aside.
• Mix flour with salt and pepper to taste and dredge chicken pieces in this.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
• Saute the chicken until browned on both sides and cooked through.
• Remove the chicken and put in a warm dish, set aside in low oven to keep warm.
• Add the ginger-garlic mixture to the skillet and saute until lightly browned.
• Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and fish sauce (if using).
• Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces and thickens.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken pieces in the warm serving dish and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Trim and shred the sugar snap peas diagonally.
• Just prior to serving sprinkle the top of the chicken with the shredded snap peas.

CHICKEN BREASTS IN FOIL WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES, AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Tear off two sheets of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches square, and place one on top of the other. Use the olive oil to smear a patch in the center of the foil, large enough to hold the chicken. Make a bed of the tomato slices, in the center, then top with the chicken breasts, salt and pepper to taste, the Parmesan, and thyme leaves. Add the olives and thyme sprigs.
• Fold the foil over the chicken onto itself and crimp the edges as tightly as possible by making 1- or 2-inch folds, one after the other, each sealing the other. Seal the package very tightly, but leave plenty of room around the chicken. (You can prepare the recipe up to 3 hours in advance to this point; refrigerate the package.)
• Place a skillet large enough to hold the package over high heat. A minute later, add the remaining oil, then pour out all but a film. Put the package in the skillet; it will sizzle. About 2 minutes later, the package will expand like a balloon; be careful of the escaping steam. Cook for 5 minutes longer from that point.
• Remove the package from the heat, again taking care to avoid any escaping steam. Let rest for 1 minute, then cut a slit down the length of the top with a knife. Use a knife and fork to open up the package, then spoon the chicken, garnish, and juices onto a plate and serve.
