Chicken in a bag

Has to be the easiest, tastiest way to poach a chicken!  Complete with its own little sauce and all the trimmings to make a lovely meal.  This is a great dish to do when you're on your own and don't think you can be bothered to cook for yourself.  Of course you can put whatever you like inside the bag to suit your taste. Not the most attractive of pictures I'm sorry but it does look like a tasty little pocket.



Ingredients per bag:
1 x 200g (7oz) skinless chicken breast
200g (7oz) mixed mushrooms, portabella, porcini or swiss
1/4 cup white wine
2 knobs butter
3 sage leaves
1 sprig thyme
sea salt and pepper
1 slice of lemon or a squeeze of lemon juice

Method:
  • Make your own bag using foil.  Fold a long piece of aluminum foil in half to make it roughly the size of a shoebox.  
  • Folding the two outside edges in at least 3 times each to avoid leakage.  
  • Place bag/s on a baking tray and into a hot oven, 390'F (200'C) for 22-25 minutes and you will have a meal ready without any washing up.  
  • You could have this on its own, or with some crunchy bread, steamed veggies, mash potato, rice or salad.
