Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth to maintain moisture.

Gravy Tip: To thicken the natural juices into a gravy, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the simmering juices in the saucepan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.

Variations: You can add chopped onions, bell peppers, or carrots to the foil packet before sealing for extra vegetables.

Safety: Be careful when opening the foil packet as hot steam will escape. Open away from your face.
