2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
1 leek, trimmed, cleaned, and cut into 2 1/2-inch-long julienne strips
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 2 1/2-inch-long julienne strips
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper or aluminum foil 12 inches by 16 inches. Fold in half to form an 8-by-12-inch rectangle, then cut into a half-heart shape as you would a valentine.
2. Place a chicken breast in the center of one-half of each opened paper heart. Spread mustard evenly over chicken breasts. Distribute leeks, carrots, and thyme over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Seal the packages and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the packages are puffed. (Open one package to check that the chicken is no longer pink inside.) Transfer to individual plates and let diners open their own packages.
