Chicken in Filo Baskets (Low Fat) image

This was adapted from a couple of recipes in cookbook, Symply Too Good to be True by Annette Syms. The refrigerated Filo is easier to use, I find the frozen very hard to handle. I always serve this with steamed rice.

This dish is way too expensive. I could have made something similar for half the price.

The chicken was dry and overcooked. I think it would have been better if it was cooked for less time.

The filo pastry was too thick and chewy. I think it would have been better if it was thinner.

This dish is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of filo pastry, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken and vegetables were perfectly cooked, and the pastry was crispy and flaky.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped vegetables to the filling, which made it even more flavorful.
