Ingredients

• 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 200 grams Cooked chicken breast
• 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 for spraying Olive oil spray
• 1 all parts Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, shred the cooked chicken breast into small pieces. Add the low-fat cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean, dry surface. Lightly spray with olive oil spray and layer another sheet on top. Repeat with two more sheets for a total of four layers, spraying each with olive oil.

Step 4

Cut the layered phyllo sheets into four equal squares with a sharp knife.

Step 5

Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each square.

Step 6

Fold each square over the filling to form a triangle, ensuring that the edges meet. Seal the edges by pressing them together firmly.

Step 7

Place the stuffed phyllo triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and chicken filling.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the puffs lightly with egg wash to help them crisp and brown in the oven.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Allow the chicken puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as an appetizer or a delightful snack.
