INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add just enough olive oil to coat bottom of sauté pan. Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika and Emeril’s seasoning. Cook chicken over medium heat until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. It will bake in the oven later, so it doesn’t have to cook through.
2. Remove chicken from pan and deglaze with chicken broth. If you like it spicy, you can add a little sriracha at this point. Taste and season as necessary.
3. Return chicken to pan, cover and simmer over low heat. While the chicken is simmering, heat oil in a sauté pan, and add the potatoes. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
4. When the potatoes are done, remove them and quickly sauté the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Blanch the broccolini until crisp/tender, about 4 minutes.
5. Layer the ingredients in the cedar wraps, beginning with the potatoes on the bottom. Lay the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes. Top the chicken with the onions. Finish with the broccolini.
6. Pour some of the juice from the sauté pan over the mixture. Don’t worry if a little seeps out. Carefully tie the packets together with the string.
7. Bake in the oven on 175°C for 20 minutes. Place each packet on a plate and serve.
