Description
Crispy, golden filo parcels filled with a savory mixture of chicken, spinach, feta, onion, and garlic—easy to assemble, full of flavor, and perfect for dinner or entertaining.
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, sliced
6 cloves garlic, crushed
130 g baby spinach
500 g cooked chicken breast, chopped
150 g feta, crumbled
2 eggs
12 sheets filo pastry
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (fan bake).
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté sliced onion for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add crushed garlic and cook briefly. Add spinach and stir until completely wilted.
- Turn off heat and add chopped chicken. Stir in feta and eggs, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Allow filling to cool slightly.
- Place one sheet of filo on a board and spray lightly with oil. Layer a second sheet on top and spray again.
- Add about 1/2 cup filling in a line 5 cm from one end. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly, spraying with oil as you roll.
- Repeat with remaining sheets to form 6 parcels.
- Place parcels on a lined baking tray. Spray tops lightly with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Serve hot with a fresh garden salad.
Notes
Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.
Stir in ricotta for a creamier filling.
Swap chicken for turkey or roasted vegetables.
Keep filo covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent drying.
Freeze unbaked parcels and bake from frozen.
