Chicken in Foil Triangles - Aka Twice Baked Chicken

Julesong's Note:

I used to maintain a website called "Guide to Living Alone" which featured some good recipes for one person. This recipe is one I put together for my friend Ellen, because it was one of her favorite sidedishes at a Chinese restaurant we frequented. The little triangular foil packets of chicken were such a treat! If you double/triple/etc the recipe, it can also make good appetizers for a party, or even take-alongs for a picnic or potluck.

My son is high functioning autistic and is a picky eater. He just loves this recipe. We used raw chicken instead of canned chicken and parsley instead of cilantro only because parsley was what I had in refrig, but it came out just great. In fact , he made it himself the other night. He served it with Natures Promise chicken and veg pot stickers. JUST GREAT Thank you for sharing.
