NOTES : This lowfat individual entree "En Papillote" adds a dramatic
touch to any meal. For less auspicious occassions, the recipe may
be prepared in a baking bag. The result will be every bit as
flavorful. Either way, the chicken comes out moist and tender and
perfumed with herbs.
Parchment is in large groceries and speciality kitchen supply
stores in rolls. It is a special paper with a heatresistant and
nonstick coating. If you cannot find either parchment or bag,
use foil.
