Place about 1/2 cupful of chicken mixture in center of each parchment
square. Fold bottom point of parchment over filling; crease just below
filling and fold point over and under filling. Fold side points over
filling, overlapping slightly. Crease paper to hold folds. Fold remaining

parchment squares. (Ends up looking like small envelope, with flap tucked
under bundle)

Place bundles seam side down, in single layer on steamer rack. Set rack in
large pot or wok of boiling water. (Do not let water level reach the
bundles) Cover and steam about 7 minutes or until chicken is tender. Serve
immediately
