Ingredients

• 12 pieces phyllo dough sheets
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, spinach mixture, feta cheese, green onions, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush with butter again. Repeat with a third sheet.

Step 6

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the chicken filling onto one end of the phyllo dough stack, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a packet. Brush the outside with more melted butter to seal.

Step 8

Place the packet seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 6 packets.

Step 9

Bake the packets in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Phyllo Packets!
