topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • 350 g green beans
  • 2 cups halved cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh tarragon
  • 3 cloves of garlic, sliced
  • 3 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • White wine
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Additional equipment: parchment paper

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 200C.
  2. Lightly pound the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, combine green beans, tomatoes, olive oil, tarragon, garlic, shallots, and season with a little salt and pepper. Stir.
  4. Cut four 12-16 inch (30-40 cm) pieces of parchment paper. Place a quarter of the beans in the center of each parchment rectangle, drizzle with white wine, and top with a chicken breast, 1 tablespoon (15 g) of butter, and a quarter of the chopped parsley. Bring the short ends together in the middle and fold them over by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Fold them over a few more times, then bring the ends together to form semicircular "pouches." Repeat with the remaining beans, chicken pieces, and parchment.
  5. Bake the chicken breasts for 25-30 minutes, then remove from the oven. Place the pouches on plates, carefully unwrap each portion, and remove the contents. Discard the paper before serving.
