4. Place chicken breast over arugula; sprinkle with ½ teaspoon sage and ½ teaspoon rosemary. Top with 1/4 cup chopped plum tomato.
   
5. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper then drizzle with ½ teaspoon olive oil. Top with 1 teaspoon of olives if desired.
   
6. Fold parchment paper over the chicken and arugula and seal edges with narrow fold.
   
7. Repeat with the remaining parchment paper, chicken and other ingredients.
   
8. Place packets on baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned.
   
9. To serve, open packets and transfer arugula and chicken breast to plates. Pour juices over top.
