Spiced Chicken and Summer Vegetables en Papillote...
Cooking in paper (en papillote) is another technique that seal and retain all the wonderful cooking juices and flavor inside a dish without dissipated out. For my version, I use hindquarter of a chicken, marinated in spice mix, tossed in selection of summer vegetables: cherry tomatoes, celery, radish, green pea and shiitake mushroom. For fast and even cooking, I use maximum microwave heat for 5 minutes before continue on low heat for another 10 minutes.
