I tried a new cooking method well kinda new. Have you ever cooked your food in parchment? I have done it once and I didn’t like the outcome so I never tried it again. Until I was asked to try Ready Chef Go Bags. I have to tell you I was kind of excited to try these bags and I have to tell you I love them! They are easy to use and easy to clean up!

I was sent 6 bags to try. They can be purchased from their website or at select grocers.

This recipe is really simple. Slice your peppers;

Slice your chicken:

Place in a bowl and toss with BBQ sauce and seasonings:

Then place your ingredients in the Ready Chef Go bags:

Seal them up. Bake. Remove from the oven and let sit for one minute.

Open bag, doesn’t that look yummy?

I served this over rice and it was soooo good!

Now lets talk about clean up. I simply tossed the bags in the garbage and was done.
