I don't know why there is this trend to build a bigger chicken. I'm glad you experimented without a list, because this technique works for so many combinations. The other day I threw a handful of couscous in with some chopped vegetables and herbs, and in an hour I had a great lunch. Cheers!

For all three, I shopped without a list, so there was usually something missing. I have noticed that a too-thick breast (this one was Free-Range) did not cook through in an hour. The organic ones, a quarter inch thinner or so, worked perfectly. The asparagus was too al dente for our bites, so I replaced it with extremely large zucchini sticks, worked well. Perhaps thinner stalks would be better, but they seem to have less taste despite their gorgeous appearance. I hadn't done anything in parchment or foil in so long, this was a great suggestion, many thanks. Melinda says "hi". Barry Kelly,

Guess that does away with serving it in the parchment, but probably seals well. Thanks! Barry Hi Kelly,
