Ingredients:

2 tbsps

Olive Oil

1

Salt

Directions:

1

Tear off two sheets of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches square, and place one on top of the other

2

Use the olive oil to smear a patch in the center of the foil, large enough to hold the chicken

3

Make a bed of the tomato slices, in the center, then top with the chicken breasts, salt and pepper to taste, the Parmesan, and thyme leaves

4

Add the olives and thyme sprigs

5

Fold the foil over the chicken onto itself and crimp the edges as tightly as possible by making 1- or 2-inch folds, one after the other, each sealing the other

6

Seal the package very tightly, but leave plenty of room around the chicken

7

(You can prepare the recipe up to 3 hours in advance to this point; refrigerate the package

8

) Place a skillet large enough to hold the package over high heat

9

A minute later, add the remaining oil, then pour out all but a film

10

Put the package in the skillet; it will sizzle

11

About 2 minutes later, the package will expand like a balloon; be careful of the escaping steam

12

Cook for 5 minutes longer from that point

13

Remove the package from the heat, again taking care to avoid any escaping steam

14

Let rest for 1 minute, then cut a slit down the length of the top with a knife

15

Use a knife and fork to open up the package, then spoon the chicken, garnish, and juices onto a plate and serve
