Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 6 oz) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons Feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning evenly over the chicken.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the chicken cools, lightly sauté the baby spinach in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Set aside.

Step 5

On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo dough. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Place the second sheet on top and brush it with butter as well.

Step 6

Position the seared chicken breast near the bottom center of the phyllo. Top with the sautéed spinach and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the phyllo dough over the chicken, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a parcel. Ensure the seams are tucked underneath to prevent it from opening during baking.

Step 8

Brush the outside of the parcel with melted butter and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the chicken parcel rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
