3. 3Toss the chicken, apples, carrot, and onion with the glaze until evenly coated.
4. 4Divide the mixture among the parchment sheets and fold them into sealed parcels.
5. 5Place on a baking sheet and bake 22 to 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
6. 6Open the parcels carefully to release steam, then spoon any juices over the top.

Tips

• Slice the vegetables thinly so they cook at the same pace as the chicken.
• For extra browning, open the parcels and broil for 1 minute at the end.
• This also works well with boneless turkey thighs.
