Instructions
Preheat oven to 200° C / 400° F.
Cut three pieces of parchment paper big enough to carry a half breast along with the vegetables and liquids and be able to seal it with a thin rope.
Take one half breast and place it on the parchment paper.
Repeat with the rest.
Salt and pepper them.
Add the 70 gr. / 3 oz. of feta cheese above each one of them.
Divide the vegetables equally among the three pockets starting with the tomato, after add the pepper, next the onion and finishing with the parsley.
Divide the sugar equally to all three of them.
Without pouring the wine and the olive oil and open as they are, squeeze them in a pan very close to each other.
Pour the wine and olive oil and seal them with the thin rope.
Spray the pockets with water and bake them at the lowest level of your oven for an hour.
Remove from the oven.
Open the pockets and place them under the broiler at the medium rack of your oven at 225° C / 437 ° F for about 10 minutes.
Now please pay attention, don’t leave the oven unattended as broiler has very high temperature and can burn your meal.
Remove and drain the liquids.
Place the liquids in a small pot and boil for five minutes.
You can thicken this sauce by whisking 1 tbsp of corn flour dissolved in 1 tbsp water into it.
Transfer them to a platter and serve pouring the sauce on top of them.
