Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Put the potatoes in a medium pan of boiling salted water, then simmer for 10 minutes until just cooked through. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Season the chicken breasts, then sear, skin-side down, for 1-2 minutes until golden. Cut two large squares each of foil and baking paper, then lay each square of baking paper over a piece of foil.
- Toss the potatoes, capers, peppers, red onion and thyme together in a bowl with some seasoning and the remaining oil. Divide between the two squares, then top each with a chicken breast. Fold and seal the parcels well, put on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the parcels on plates, then open and enjoy.
