This creates a great aroma when the packages are first opened at the table--the packages hold the flavors in the chicken. I'm a huge chicken fan, and this is a very simple but tasty way to serve it.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 -1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 -2 medium tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil or 2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
lime juice, for drizzling
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Rinse the chicken breasts, and either cut or pound the chicken to create cutlets of about equal size.
  • Tear off squares of aluminum foil (enough to wrap around the chicken and then some) and place each chicken breast on a square.
  • Slice the tomato (es) and place a slice or two atop of each breast.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the basil on top of the chicken breasts evenly.
  • Add salt and pepper to each breast.
  • Loosely fold up the foil over each cutlet, leaving both room for air space but folded up enough not to allow oil to drip out.
  • Place all packages in a large baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Serve while still packaged; allow each diner to open his/her package at the table.
