Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh chicken breast, onions, grape tomatoes, and fresh herbs at any local supermarket, grocery store, or farmers' market. White wine and pantry staples like spices and olive oil are widely available in the condiments and baking aisles of any food retailer.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 ºC
- Cut four pieces of aluminum foil, approximately 50 cm each
- Season the chicken fillets in a bowl with the paprika
- Add the cumin
- Season with salt and black pepper
- Rub the spices well over the meat to ensure they are evenly distributed
- Open each sheet of aluminum foil on a deep plate with the shiny side facing up
- Place one chicken fillet in the center of each sheet
- Distribute four tomatoes and a portion equivalent to half a chopped onion around each fillet
- Add two tablespoons of wine and one tablespoon of olive oil to each packet
- Finish the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt
- Bring the ends of the foil together and fold the edges well to create an airtight seal
- Ensure the packet remains inflated to allow steam to circulate inside
- Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes so the chicken cooks without losing moisture
- Remove from the oven and open the packets carefully to avoid burns from the steam
- Serve immediately accompanied by the vegetables and the juices that formed during cooking
Notes
This technique involves cooking chicken wrapped in foil, allowing it to steam in its own juices. The result is an aromatic dish with tender meat and perfectly cooked vegetables.
