    Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 200ºC. Place metal baking tin in oven to heat.

    2 Steam or microwave pumpkin until just tender. Meanwhile, combine garlic, 5-spice powder, honey, soy sauce and plum sauce in a medium-sized bowl. Add chicken and carrots and toss until well combined.

    3 Cut four 30cm x 50cm pieces of tinfoil. In the centre of each piece of tinfoil place a 15cm x 15cm square of baking paper. Place steamed pumpkin, broccoli and bok choy in the centre of baking paper. Top vegetables in each parcel with one-quarter of the chicken mixture. Fold paper into a parcel then fold tinfoil around it to keep cooking juices inside. Repeat to make 4 parcels.

    4 Place parcels in heated baking tin and cook on top shelf in oven for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender (check by carefully opening the parcel). Serve with rice and garnish with coriander.
