Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Wrap a chopping board in clingwrap, place the chicken fillets onto the board, then cover with another layer of clingwrap. Using a rolling pin, flatten the chicken breasts. Remove the clingwrap, then season to taste.

Place a sheet of baking paper onto a baking tray and add the fennel. Top with the chicken and pour over the chicken stock. Cover with another sheet of baking paper and crimp the edges to form a parcel. Cook in the oven for 15–20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and open the parcel. Pour over the chilli sauce and serve with the asparagus spears.
