I found this great recipe for Curried Chicken en papillotes (in parchment paper packets). This is for 4 servings, so just double the recipe, and you'll have some leftovers for a couple of lunches. I eat mine with some quinoa (original recipe calls for naan bread) and a salad. Ingredients can be adjusted to suit tastes; it's not spicy, it's very tasty, and it's very high in protein. Super easy, super fast.
400.00 g, Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (or dark meat)
1.00 tbsp Arrowroot Powder (or all-purpose flour)
1.00 tbsp Honey
2.00 tsps Curry powder
2.00 tsps Paprika
1.00 tsps Turmeric, ground
1.00 tsps Ginger, ground
1.00 dash table Salt (I use salt substitute -- low sodium diet)
1.00 dash Black Pepper
175.00g, 0% Plain Greek Yogurt
Water (to thin out, if desired)
1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Prepare 4 (or 8, if doubling recipe) sheets of parchment paper, 10"x12" approximately.
3. Mix all ingredients, except chicken, in large bowl.
4. Cut chicken in 1/2 inch slices. Dump in bowl, and thoroughly mix with sauce.
5. Place equivalent of 1 chicken breast in the middle of each sheet of parchment, making sure they are all well smothered in sauce.
6. Fold paper over and firmly seal the edges, forming a sort of half-moon shape. Steam must not escape during baking.
7. Bake for 15 minutes.
8. Cooked packets will keep in fridge a couple of days, or in freezer up to 3 months (in freezer bag).
Original recipe listed 235 calories per serving, but by making adjustments, I brought it down to 170 cals, with still 29g of protein and only 2g of fat.
Hope you enjoy this!0
