Tonight's experiment: chicken en papillote. I used skinless, boneless chicken breasts and wrapped them in heavy duty aluminum foil along with diced red bell peppers sauteed briefly in 1/4 cup of chicken broth, a dash of salt and black pepper, Penzey's bouquet garni and some chopped fresh parsley. The original recipe called for snow peas and shallots as well, but I had neither on hand and was utterly uninspired to go back out. I threw in a couple of baby carrots instead. Supposedly they should cook for 18 minutes or so at 450, but these took closer to 30 to be completely cooked through. Served with black rice, which has an interesting flavor and a gorgeous color. I think it turned out pretty well, myself, although next time I'll do a better job crimping the sides of the foil packets.
