Chicken Breasts with Sage, Rosemary and Lemon Potato and Green Bean Packets

Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for "menu" instructions

Chicken Breasts with Sage, Rosemary and Lemon        Time: 30 minutes

2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
3 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs ketchup
1 tbs fresh sage, chopped   substitute 1 tsp dried
1 tbs fresh rosemary, chopped   substitute 1 tsp dried

Chop herbs.  In small bowl mix lemon juice, oil, ketchup and herbs.  Place chicken breasts in a dish with sides and pour marinade over.  Let marinate 15 - 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.  Remove from marinade and cook on barbecue grill for 7 - 10 minutes per side, or until done,  baste with marinade when turning.  Could also be sautéed in a nonstick skillet for same amount of time.  Remove chicken, slice if you like and serve.

Potato and Bean Packets                                                Time: 35 minutes

2 medium potatoes
6 - 7 oz (200gr) green beans
1 small onion  use the rest of the one from salad on Monday
1 tomato
2 tbs chicken stock or water
1 tbs snipped fresh basil

Tear off 2 pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil about 15 inches long and put each on a plate.  Top and tail beans.  Snip basil.  Cut the vegetables into pieces about 1/2 inch by 1 1/2 inch - or whatever, and divide evenly between the 2 plates keeping in center of foil.  Kind of pat the foil down so it takes the shape of the plate.  Sprinkle with basil and stock.   Bring long ends of foil to middle and fold down.  Fold in ends so you have 2 nice packets with the veg and broth.  Put on barbecue - indirect heat (not over the coals), cover and cook for 30 minutes.  Move them around once or twice to avoid hot spots.  Or put in 400F oven for 40 minutes.  Check to make certain everything is done.  Remove vegetables from packets and serve.                                                                                                              top of page
