Steamed Chicken and Vegetables

2 Chicken Breasts
1 Onion or 2 Shallots
1 Pint Mushrooms or Sweet Pepper or Zucchini or your choice
1/2 fresh squeezed lemon or orange
Splash of wine or stock or water or juice
Salt and Pepper to taste or seasoning of your choice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Layer two sheets of aluminum foil per chicken breast.
3. In the centre of the foil layer the onions
4. Wash chicken, pat dry and place on top of the onions
5. Place vegetable around the chicken
6. Season...I like to use things I have in the fridge or cupboard like lemon pepper or cajun or even cumin...use whatever you feel like tonight.
7. Then create a little bowl before your seal it and add your choice of liquid...about 1/4 of a cup
8. Pull two ends together, roll down towards the chicken...then roll in the other two ends towards the chicken to create a seal.

Depending on the size of the chicken breast...cooking time is about 30 minutes or more.

We love to eat this with salad!

Bon Appetite!

Culinary Adventures

Hi there fellow Urban Chef's!

This blog is my attempt to satisfy my passion for the culinary arts!

A little bit about me....I am a working city girl, recently married, have an active social life and love to eat really great food! Whether on the weekend (when I have more time) or on a weeknight (not much time)...I love to create meals that are not only wholesome, healthy and delicious but low in calories as well...a perfect combination I think! If you share my passion and aren't afraid to experiment...then follow me on this culinary adventure!

I will be posting new recipes each week that are easy, quick and healthy.

Cheers
Tanya
