Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 6 oz) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning evenly over the chicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
While the chicken cools, lightly sauté the baby spinach in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Set aside.
On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo dough. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Place the second sheet on top and brush it with butter as well.
Position the seared chicken breast near the bottom center of the phyllo. Top with the sautéed spinach and crumbled feta cheese.
Fold the sides of the phyllo dough over the chicken, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a parcel. Ensure the seams are tucked underneath to prevent it from opening during baking.
Brush the outside of the parcel with melted butter and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
Let the chicken parcel rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
