Oven-Baked Chicken Fillet with Vegetables in Paper

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and let it heat up. Cut the chicken fillets, potatoes, carrots, and onions into equal-sized cubes. Finely chop the garlic.

To enhance the flavor of the sauce, place 1 tablespoon of olive oil, pepper paste, paprika, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and thyme in a small sauce pan. Sauté over low heat for approximately 1 minute until the raw smell of the paste is gone and the spices release their aroma, then remove from the heat and let it cool.

Transfer the cooled spiced paste mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and plain mineral water, and whisk until a smooth consistency is reached.

Add the chopped chicken and all the vegetables to the sauce bowl. Mix well so that the sauce completely covers the ingredients.

Spread a large sheet of baking paper on the counter and place the sauced chicken and vegetable mixture in the center of the paper. Fold and join the edges of the baking paper upward to form a packet.

Bake in the preheated 200 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. At the end of the time, carefully open the paper packet, sprinkle the grated kashar cheese on top, and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops are lightly browned.
