Ingredients

• 12 pieces phyllo dough sheets
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cups butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, wilted spinach mixture, feta cheese, cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface and lightly brush with melted butter. Layer a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush again with butter.

Step 7

Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into three equal strips lengthwise.

Step 8

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture near the bottom edge of each strip. Fold the sides in and roll the phyllo up tightly into a log shape, brushing with additional butter to seal.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling.

Step 10

Place the phyllo rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
