Maggi So Tender Italian Herbs Seasoned Cooking Papers (4 per Pack - 23g) amzn.eu/d/dKyFNvc

These were great. Just bash a few chicken breast and fry 10 minutes on both sides. One pan, no fat, delicious hot or cold. Maggi no longer make them, so I’m looking to make my own herb papers. Any idea where to start please?

Never heard of these, what does the paper do?
There are jars of "Italian herbs" available in supermarkets.

Perhaps try one when you cook chicken ?

Teresa777 · 06/11/2022 18:06

Watching with interest - the bags are OK, but the papers were brilliant.

ellieboolou · 06/11/2022 18:09

They stopped making them!!!!! No wonder I can't find any, bloody loved these, wonder if baking parchment would work...

Babysharkdoodoodood · 06/11/2022 18:20

Why don't you just bash the chicken, rub over some oil and then sprinkle with herbs?

Because no matter how many times I've tried this NOTHING comes close to how the cooking papers make the chicken taste.

İ tried a home made version once, from what I remember I brushed melted butter onto squares of baking parchment and sprinkled Italian herb mix, garlic granules , salt pepper , paprika etc. generously to stick to the butter. I may have sprinkled on some finely grated chicken stock cube (I sometimes rub that on a whole chicken), I can't remember. I seem to remember it worked quite well, must do it again!

Topaz67 · 06/11/2022 21:39

Thanks Wbeezer, I will give it a go but probably just try one in case it doesn’t work. They were ideal for my DS who’s at Uni. I can’t see him faffing about with parchment and all the ingredients although he does have them…

Totally agree! The flavor packets were tasty, easy and now gone! I wonder if I have been eating lead in them all these days.

Update 🥳- just been on Nestle twitter acc and a few people asking about the whereabouts of these fab papers. It’s a production issue and hope to have them back out in few months 😅 Praise the lord !!!

notrodstewartsmaggimae · 07/01/2023 23:24

*Very reliable insider info tells me that the sheets have been unavailable for so long because they are produced in the Ukraine and they have been working hard to try and find another facility to manufacture them. They are certainly not discontinued but just unavailable until the issue can be sorted out

Thank you so much for the update. While you’re here, I am struggling to find ordinary dishwasher powder either home brand or Finish and there’s no dishwasher gel either. Do you think that this is a supply issue? I use rinse and quick wash on a low temperature so the tablets never dissolve properly.

I am so excited they may make a come back!

Wbeezer · 09/01/2023 22:45

I sometimes buy dishwasher powder in Sainsbury's, it's the only place I can recall seeing it.

BevvyK · 24/05/2023 14:58

Please let this be true 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 autistic son that has to have these at least 3 times a week!

piermaster · 28/06/2023 19:42

I too have had problems getting these, my favourite is the garlic one. Anyway, at the moment I get some baking parchment and rub in some oil add the herbs and spices then fry as normal. Not as good but good enough in the meantime.

Thanks Piermaster I was only thinking of these a couple of days ago as I now have an air fryer. I will have a go at making my own…..

We too miss these , we’ve tried the cook in the bag , I’m going to grease some papers next time and sprinkle the spices onto the paper instead of cooking in the bag ! Don’t know if it will be the same but I’ll give it a try

Hi
I am going to try making my own Chicken wraps, as l so miss the scummy flavours......l also buy the So Juicy range, which are nice, don't get me wrong, but l have always preferred stove top individual,,..
Also in this time of watching where and how we spend, and me being a 72 yr.old(but 50 in mind and l suppose 60 in body) !?!? I think attempting to make my own wraps will be a lot cheaper, as they have shot up in price since the scarcity and the war in Russia....also, cooking on the hob is cheaper than having to use the oven, unless combining with other cooking...Wish me luck and l will report back!! Nice Chatting.. Naughty Nana 😅🙃😽

If you're able to make your own versions of this product, please can I urge you to do so rather than give a penny more of your money to a company which uses child slaves and is responsible for the miseducation of new mothers, leading to the deaths of 1000s of babies.

Hi,

I too am greatly saddened by the loss of this product.
I have a few left at home and shall attempt to recreate them.
If anybody can send me high quality photos of the front and back of the packet so I have an much information as I can get on at many flavours as I can get I shall document and publish my method and results.
I think I shall go for a thick paste that you spread on parchment from a jar.
My favourite use for them was to cook 2 chicken breasts fire myself and wife, slice them up while warm, toss them with a green salad and Caesar dressing for a warm chicken Caesar salad on a summer's afternoon.
Push the boat out with one of those really fancy jars of Caesar dressing! 😋😋😋

Regards,

J1M.
