Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 200 grams Cooked chicken breast
- 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 for spraying Olive oil spray
- 1 all parts Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces. Add the low-fat cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean, dry surface. Lightly spray with olive oil spray and layer another sheet on top. Repeat with two more sheets for a total of four layers, spraying each with olive oil.
Cut the layered phyllo sheets into four equal squares with a sharp knife.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each square.
Fold each square over the filling to form a triangle, ensuring that the edges meet. Seal the edges by pressing them together firmly.
Place the stuffed phyllo triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and chicken filling.
Brush the tops of the puffs lightly with egg wash to help them crisp and brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
Allow the chicken puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as an appetizer or a delightful snack.
