2 tablespoons margarine
4 boneless skinless chicken
breasts
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 small carrots -- julienned
1 stalk celery -- julienned
1 leek -- see directions
1 teaspoon thyme

Recipe

*Julienne the white part of the leek only. Fold 4
pieces (15 x 10-inches) parchment paper in half crosswise; trim
corners to make ovals.

Open ovals and brush withbutter; leaving 1 inch border. Place chicken breast in center of each oval, spread with mustard. Sprinkle evenly with carrots, celery, leek, thym and salt and pepper to taste. Fold paper over chicken and crimp edges to seal.

Slash top to vent slightly. Arrange on
a large plate or platter with thickest portions
pointing outward. Microwave at HIGH for 6 to 8 minutes
or until chicken is no longer pink inside, rotating
halfway through. Let stand 3 minutes before serving.
Serves 4.
