Italian Chicken Packet

If you can't get thin sliced chicken at your butcher, than feel free to butterfly and pound your chicken or just simply cook it longer. For more flavor, use pickled red onion instead of plain and add roasted red peppers if that's to your liking.

Instead of rice you can serve this pouch with pasta or polenta.
