  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 glass of white wine (optional)
  • Dash of olive oil
  • 10-12 spears asparagus
  • 4-5 tbsp melted butter

Method

  • STEP 1
    Tear off 2 large pieces of strong tin baking foil and place a chicken breast in the centre of each one
  • STEP 2
    Season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle in some coriander
  • STEP 3
    Top each with with the sliced red onion and 2-3 slices of lime, skin on
  • STEP 4
    Fold up the edges on the foil sheets and into each carefully pour half of the chicken stock and a dash of the white wine
  • STEP 5
    Carefully fold over the foil so you have sealed parcels. It's essential that they are sealed very tight to keep in the juices and steam. Place them into a deep roasting tray with a little water in the bottom to prevent them catching
  • STEP 6
    Cook in a pre-heated oven at 185 deg C for about 35-40 minutes
  • STEP 7
    Meanwhile cook the asparagus spears in plenty of boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes and drain carefully. Toss them gently in a little butter and black pepper and keep warm
  • STEP 8
    When the chicken is cooked be careful when you open the poil packets, as the steam will be very hot
  • STEP 9
    To serve, spoon the chicken breats into large bowls and pour over some of the hot chicken liquor
  • STEP 10
    Drizzle over a touch more olive oil and serve with a large bowl of steamed rice in the middle of the table
  • STEP 11
    Serve with the Asparagus.
