Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces phyllo dough sheets
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, wilted spinach mixture, feta cheese, cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until well combined.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface and lightly brush with melted butter. Layer a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush again with butter.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into three equal strips lengthwise.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture near the bottom edge of each strip. Fold the sides in and roll the phyllo up tightly into a log shape, brushing with additional butter to seal.
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.
Place the phyllo rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
