Chicken Baked with Tomatoes and Herbs in Parchment

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay out 6 large rectangles of parchment paper
on counter and place one chicken breast to the right of the center of each
piece. Top each breast with 1/2 cup tomatoes and 2 teaspoons shallots. Add
2 to 3 ta- blespoons wine to each, and evenly distribute tarragon and
parsley on top of breasts. Sprinkle with seasoning salt and white pepper.
Fold ends of the parchment together, crimping edges in a semicircle to
seal ingredients. Be sure the wine doesn't leak.
Place sealed packets on baking sheet or sheets and bake for 20 minutes.
Serve hot. Makes 6 servings.
note: The recipe states "6 boned and skinned whole chicken breasts" To
serve: place papillote on the plate. Cut an "X" in the top of the bag and
fold back to review contents.  Garnish with carrot curls and fresh tarragon

NOTES : This low-fat individual entree "En Papillote" adds a dramatic
touch to any meal.  For less auspicious occassions, the recipe may
be prepared in a baking bag.  The result will be every bit as
flavorful.  Either way, the chicken comes out moist and tender and
perfumed with herbs.
Parchment is in large groceries and speciality kitchen supply
stores in rolls. It is a special paper with a heat-resistant and
non-stick coating.  If you cannot find either parchment or bag,
use foil.
