Nutritional values

These chicken packets are full of nutrients, which can stimulate digestion, lower cholesterol levels, and protect the heart and blood vessels. Cooking in foil also prevents the ingredients' vitamins from breaking down in the heat and cuts down on fat.

If you want to impress your guests with something special, you can double or triple the recipe without spending much extra time. This recipe is also perfect for children if you replace the wine with broth.
