How to Make Steamed Chicken Cutlets In Packages
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Rinse 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) and pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan.
- Tear off four 12-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Place one chicken cutlet in the center of each foil square.
- Top each chicken cutlet with 2 slices of fresh tomato (about 1 medium tomato total).
- Drizzle each cutlet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon dried basil (or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil) evenly over each cutlet.
- Season each cutlet with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Fold the foil over the chicken, creating a sealed packet leaving some room for steam. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent leakage.
- Place the foil packets in a large baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Serve immediately in the foil packets, allowing each diner to open their own packet at the table for an aromatic and delightful experience.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
