Put it into a oven pan and into the oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 45-60 minutes (it dipends from the chicken's dimension). The cooking bag will inflate (photo 3) and then deflate once extracted from the the oven. When it's cooked, wait the deflating and then cut the bag paying attention to the gravy formed. Cut the breast and serve it with oil and flavour. I use pink pepper, black pepper and paprika.
