Parchment Chicken
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe book at www.dorothymcnett.com. Serve with Gewurtztraminer, Riesling
3-4 skinned and boned chicken breasts
1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, sliced
1-2 small sprigs cilantro, snipped
parchment paper, cut into 4 by 4 inch squares, about 30 will do
Cut the chicken into thin strips. Combine remaining ingredients in bowl and marinate chicken at least 30 minutes. Place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture on the paper square with a pointed end facing you, placing chicken in the center a little above the center. Fold up the bottom towards the top, fold in the two sides, and bring the top down to tuck into bottom end. (looks like an envelope) Place folded side down on a flat plate or bowl. Microwave 10 at a time on high about 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining bundles. Allow to cool slightly before eating as they will be hot! These are great party appetizers.
