Mustard Chicken with Potatoes & Leeks

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare 2 pieces of parchment paper or foil for papillotes.
  2. *
  3. Open the papillotes and place a chicken breast in the center of one half of each opened paper heart.
  4. Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over each chicken breast.
  5. Distribute leeks and carrots evenly over the chicken.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme; drizzle with olive oil.
  7. I didnt completely seal my papillotes, I simply folded them up and flipped them over, seam side down, into an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  8. Put potato cubes into a foil packet.
  9. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, 1 teaspoon of mustard (if desired) and drizzle with about a Tablespoon of olive oil.
  10. Place on baking sheet in oven along with the chicken papillotes.
  11. Bake until the packages are puffed, about 30 minutes.
  12. Since my packets were not tightly sealed they didnt puff up, but nothing leaked out into the baking dish.
  13. Open one package to check that the chicken is done (open the packet and stick a meat thermometer in the chicken, it should be at least 165F).
  14. Next, check the potato packet.
  15. My potatoes were not quite fork tender, so I put them back in the oven to bake another 15 minutes.
  16. Open the packets and combine the chicken and veggies in the baking dish, add the lemon juice and zest, tossing to coat.
  17. Serve.
  18. * To prepare a papillote: Cut a piece of parchment paper or foil about 12x16 inches.
  19. Fold in half so you have an 8x12 inch rectangle, then cut into a half-heart shape as you would a Valentine.
