Mustard Chicken with Potatoes & Leeks
- 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 teaspoons To 3 Teaspoons Coarse-grained Mustard (I Use Maille Old Style Whole Grain Mustard)
- 1 whole Leek, Trimmed, Cleaned And Cut Into 2 Inch Long Julienne Strips
- 5 ounces, weight Julienned Carrots (about 2 Inches Long; About 1.5 Cups)
- 3 whole Red Skinned Potatoes (about 12 Ounces, Cut Into Bite-sized Pieces)
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, (or To Taste)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare 2 pieces of parchment paper or foil for papillotes.
- *
- Open the papillotes and place a chicken breast in the center of one half of each opened paper heart.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over each chicken breast.
- Distribute leeks and carrots evenly over the chicken.
- Season with salt, pepper, and thyme; drizzle with olive oil.
- I didnt completely seal my papillotes, I simply folded them up and flipped them over, seam side down, into an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Put potato cubes into a foil packet.
- Season with salt, pepper, thyme, 1 teaspoon of mustard (if desired) and drizzle with about a Tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place on baking sheet in oven along with the chicken papillotes.
- Bake until the packages are puffed, about 30 minutes.
- Since my packets were not tightly sealed they didnt puff up, but nothing leaked out into the baking dish.
- 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).
- Next, check the potato packet.
- My potatoes were not quite fork tender, so I put them back in the oven to bake another 15 minutes.
- Open the packets and combine the chicken and veggies in the baking dish, add the lemon juice and zest, tossing to coat.
- Serve.
- * To prepare a papillote: Cut a piece of parchment paper or foil about 12x16 inches.
- Fold in half so you have an 8x12 inch rectangle, then cut into a half-heart shape as you would a Valentine.
