Young China lady: "Ah Prof. Chaviuer your chicken is very rubbery"
Prof Chavieur: "Well thank you very much"
A standard of the 40 something divorcée trying to impress a young lady, Chicken Parcels is level one of the burgeoning culinary dilettante. Also known as "Chicken in the Cloisters", Chicken Parcels requires a breast of chicken, some stuffing and a parcel, silver foil being the chosen fabrication .The cloaking or cloistering of the meat retains its juices whist infusing said breast with the stuffing's aroma, a favourite of the Surrey contingency being mushrooms a brie cheese.
Being a cheeky dish I recommend a cheeky Italian Valpolicella 2009.
Legend has it that the concept of a chicken being parcelled first appeared in one of Hildegards of Bingens visions which appears in an illumination in the Liber Scivais manuscript. It is rumoured that the cloistered meat's aromas cured migraines.
No biblical reference to date
