How to Make Asian Style Chicken Packets With Vegetables
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) or preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons dry sherry or vermouth, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- Add 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch pieces), 1/2 cup frozen peas, 1 cup broccoli florets, and 1/2 cup water chestnuts (sliced) to the bowl. Toss until chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly among four 12-inch x 18-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Bring up the sides of the foil to create a packet.
- Double fold the top and ends of the foil to create a secure seal.
- Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or grill for 12-14 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Carefully open packets (be cautious of steam) and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
