Baking with parchment is a simple technique that helps to ensure impressive results. As the chicken and vegetables bake, steam is trapped in the parchment to retain moisture. Serve it tableside -- just cut the parchment open to reveal tender, juicy chicken fragrant with lemon and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

  • 1
    medium fennel bulb (about 1 pound), sliced into ½ -inch slices
  • 1 pint
    cherry tomatoes, halved

    sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4
    garlic cloves, peeled

    lemon, sliced

    capers
  • 2 Tbsp
    extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp
    dry white wine, optional
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Layer ingredients on one half of the parchment paper. Season to taste with salt, pepper and peppercorns. Drizzle with olive oil and white wine, if using.
