Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut an 18-inch wide roll of heavy-duty aluminum foil into six 12-inch long pieces.
• Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, so the thickest part is about 1/2 inch thick and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set each seasoned chicken breast onto a single piece of aluminum foil.
• Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add sliced carrots, parsnip, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir to combine vegetables with the seasoned oil. Set an even amount of vegetables on top of each piece of chicken.
• Top vegetables with a whole slice of red onion and place a sprig of fresh rosemary on top of the onion.
• Fold aluminum like a book cover over the top of each serving and crimp the edges all around tightly together.
• Place foil packets with the chicken on the bottom onto a 12x18-inch rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Watch out for any steam when you check the chicken for doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove foil packets from the oven, open the packets, and serve immediately.

FOIL-BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1-inch-square pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, cilantro, ginger and garlic. Add chicken and toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Fold each piece of foil in half twice to make a 6-inch square. Place a spoonful of chicken in the center of each piece of foil, dividing it equally. Fold foil squares on the diagonal; fold edges to seal. Place on a nonstick baking sheet and bake 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.

BONNIE'S TWICE BAKED BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. BRINE THE CHICKEN Cut your chicken into serving pieces, remove skin. Leave bone in. Cut a couple of slashes at an angle across the top of each piece about 1 1/2 inches apart almost to the bone. Here is how to brine the chicken. It is very easy to do. All you need is the kosher salt and enough water to cover the chicken pieces. (not table salt) I use a large plastic container big enough to hold all the pieces and one that will fit in my refrigerator. Place 1/2 cup KOSHER salt in the container and add the water, stir well, and then add the chicken pieces. Let it brine ONLY a couple of hours, then rinse the chicken, discard the brine, and return the chicken to the refrigerator.
• 2. FIRST BAKING Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Take a plastic bag, put in the one cup of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time, shake to coat. Then lightly brown the chicken pieces and place them slash side up in a deep dish sprayed with Pam. At least 13x9. (I use a deep lasagna dish as in the photo) Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
• 3. MAKE THE SAUCE Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the ingredients for the sauce and keep it hot until the chicken has baked.
• 4. SECOND BAKING When the chicken has finished baking, remove the chicken to the stove, and pour the pan of simmering sauce directly over the chicken, taking care to cover evenly. Return the dish to the oven, and bake for 30 minutes more until it is bubbling and starting to brown. I cover with a tent of foil until ready to serve.
• 5. Cook's Tip: I encourage you to not skip the brining step as it makes the meat fork tender and juicy. Enjoy!

FOIL WRAPPED CHICKEN - BAKED OR FRIED

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into coarse mince and playfully spank it with a mallet to tenderize. Say, "You've been a naughty little chicken!".
• Mix the marinade ingredients together, add chicken, and refrigerate for one hour. At the 45 minute mark, add the mushrooms and scallions.
• Cut paper or foil pieces into 6-inch squares.
• Paper-wrapped chicken is normally wrapped envelope style. Take a square of paper and lay it out in front of you. Add 2 of the chicken slices, 1 slice of mushroom, 2 slices of green onion and a coriander sprig (if desired) in the middle, being sure to keep the filling in the center and not near the edges.
• Bring the bottom flap up over the chicken. Fold the right side over toward the middle, then the left side, so that one is overlapping the other. Fold the top flap down, tucking it inside the opening to seal the package. It is very important to make sure the packets are well sealed so that no oil seeps inches.
• If using foil, fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, then crimp the open edges together.
• DEEP FRYING METHOD: Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying.
• When the oil is ready, slide the packages in, about 6 at a time so as not to overcrowd the wok. Deep-fry the packets, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Drain on paper towels. Continue deep-frying the rest of the packets.
• Serve the chicken packets on a large platter, garnished with greens if desired. Guests can open the packets with either chopsticks or their fingers, but be careful as they're hot inside.
• OVEN METHOD: Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) oven for 18 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
