Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo dough
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves, then sauté them until softened, about 5 minutes.
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Use a spoon to break the chicken into smaller, shredded-like pieces as it cooks.
Add the ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Finely chop the parsley and crumble the feta cheese. Mix them into the chicken mixture. Allow the filling to cool slightly before proceeding.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet of phyllo dough on top and brush again with butter.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into three equal strips lengthwise. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling near one end of a strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling, creating a triangle shape. Continue folding the strip in a triangle pattern until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo rolls are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
