Return chicken to pan with stock and honey and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until stock has evaporated. Set aside to cool.

Place parcel on prepared tray and lightly spray with oil. Repeat with remaining filo and chicken mixture to make 6 parcels. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 20 minutes.
