Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces phyllo dough sheets
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, spinach mixture, feta cheese, green onions, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat with a third sheet.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling onto one end of the phyllo dough stack, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a packet. Brush the outside with more melted butter to seal.
Place the packet seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 6 packets.
Bake the packets in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Phyllo Packets!
