PHYLLO CHICKEN



Phyllo Chicken image

Some years ago I found this recipe and streamlined it to fit our family. The broccoli adds a lot to the rich flavor. Phyllo is fun to work with, and its flakiness turns standard ingredients into a special, satisfying entree. -Joyce Mummau, Mt. Airy, Maryland

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Greek

Time 1h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
⅓ cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ cup chopped cooked spinach
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped Kalamata olives
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
toothpicks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Zest lemon. Remove lemon pith with a sharp knife and slice flesh horizontally. Reserve slices.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and garlic and heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add spinach to the onion mixture. Cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove spinach-onion mixture to a bowl. Wipe skillet clean and set aside. Stir feta cheese and olives into the spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut a 2-inch slit along the edges of the thick side of each chicken breast. Cut lengthwise, being careful not to cut through the bottom or the opposite edge, creating a pocket. Season the pocket with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with 1/2 of the onion and spinach mixture and close the slits with toothpicks. Dust chicken lightly with flour, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Place chicken in the hot oil with the rib side facing up. Cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn chicken rib-side down and place lemon slices on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 35 minutes.

1/2 Serrano chili, seeded and minced
1/4 cup corn
2 tablespoons finely diced jicama
2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 ounce turkey ham, or lean ham, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1/3 cup finely diced leek
1/3 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup corn
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, drained and diced
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/3 cup cooked wild rice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup freshly grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese
6 4-ounce half breasts of boneless, skinless chicken, pounded thin
6 sheets of phyllo dough, thawed (cover with a damp cloth) Vegetable oil spray
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
Vegetable oil spray

Steps:

  • To make the compote, drain the lentils and place in a medium saucepan. Add the chicken broth and simmer until lentils are tender but still firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the shallots, ginger and chili and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and jicama and cook for 3 minutes. Add the lentils with the broth and the red pepper and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, basil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • To make the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and cook 2 minutes. Add the garlic, shallots, leek and red pepper and cook 3 minutes. Lower the heat and stir in the corn, porcini and wine. Stir in the rice, basil and cilantro and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in salt and pepper. Cool. Gently stir in the cheese.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling in the center of each piece of chicken. Fold the sides and the ends of the chicken over the filling, creating little parcels. Cut the phyllo sheets in half crosswise. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
  • Lay 1 half-sheet of phyllo on a work surface and spray with oil. Top with another half-sheet and spray with more oil. Place 1 chicken parcel in the center and fold the dough's sides and ends over the chicken, making another small package. Place on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough and chicken.
  • Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the phyllo is browned, about 15 minutes. Warm the compote and spoon onto 6 plates. Top with a chicken parcel and serve.
