Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 8 pieces Filo pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes and add them to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
Season the chicken mixture with paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and remove the skillet from heat.
Once the chicken mixture has cooled slightly, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add the grated cheddar cheese and cream cheese, and mix well until the filling is evenly combined.
Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface, and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top, brushing it with butter as well.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese mixture near one corner of the filo sheet. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold the sides inward and roll it up to form a parcel. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets and filling.
Arrange the parcels on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake the parcels in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the parcels cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
