Light Chicken And Capsicum (for The Bbq, Grill Or Oven)

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 chargrilled red capsicums, sliced sweet bell peppers (can use the bottled variety)
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, all-seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (can use fresh if you have it)

Recipe

  • 1 trim the breast pieces to remove any fat or skin.
  • 2 use cooking spray to lightly spray 4 pieces of aluminium foil.
  • 3 using 1/2 of the capsicum slices spread them in the centre of each piece of foil.
  • 4 place a chicken piece over the capsicum on each piece of foil.
  • 5 spread over each chicken piece 1/4 of the reamining capsicum pieces. sprinkle over the all-seasoning and the basil.
  • 6 fold in the foil and seal in each piece of chicken . the foil should be fully sealed. i usually fold and 'scrunch" in lengthways and then roll up the ends. these should be sealed so that the steam and flavours are fully sealed inches.
  • 7 if large chicken pieces are used, you can cut them down the centre to make them 1/2 the thickness. this allows the chicken to cook through quickly and stops it from going tough and chewy.
  • 8 if you are unable to fully fold and seal the foil you can add another piece of foil over the top and them seal around all four sides.
  • 9 any flavours or herbs can be used.
  • 10 cook in the oven, grill, bbq or frying pan. about 5 minutes on each side should be plenty.
  • 11 the foil parcel will swell up with steam towards the end of the cooking time. do not release the steam.
  • 12 allow to sit for anther minute before opening the parcel to serve.
