Chicken and Summer Vegetables En Papillote

This quick-cooking dish combines chicken with a trio of favorite summer vegetables: fresh corn, cherry tomatoes and green beans. The recipe was developed for a Cuisinart steam oven. To use a conventional oven, prepare the parchment packets as directed below and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
