Preheat the oven to 180C/ Fan
160C/Gas4. Put the potatoes in a saucepan with water,
cover and bring to the boil over a high heat. Turn the
heat down to medium and cook for 10 minutes until tender,
then drain and leave to one side.
-
Season the chicken with salt
and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over a
medium heat, add the chicken an fry for a few minutes
until just coloured on all sides, then remove from the
heat.
-
Mix together the butter,
lovage and tarragon.
-
Put 4 large sheets of baking
paper on the work surface. Divide the spring onions, peas,
courgettes and tomatoes among the papers, then top each
pile with a tbsp of thhe herb butter. Put a chicken
supreme on top of the vegetables and a teaspoon of butter
on top. Bring the edges of the baking paper up over the
ingredients of the first parcel and fold and scrunch the
edges together to seal. If the paper doesn't seal
properly, put the paper parcel in a layer of foil. This
will increase the cooking time. Repeat to form 3 more parcels and
put them in a roasting tin.
-
Bake the parcels for 35-45
minutes, then carefully open one to check that the juices
run clear when the thickest part of the chicken is pierced
with the tip of a sharp knife.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining
oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the chorizo and
fry for a few minutes until browned, then add the potatoes
and stir until heated through. Serve the chicken still in
the paper so each person can open their own parcel.
