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.
