Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 stick butter, melted
3 sheets phyllo pastry dough, found in the freezer section
Coarse salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 thin cut boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips on an angle
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small yellow skinned onion, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, 10 to 12 pieces, chopped
2 boxes chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
3/4 pound, 12 ounces, feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush 6 or 12-cup muffin tins with butter using pastry brush. Brush a layer of phyllo dough with butter, top with a second sheet of pastry, butter, then season the phyllo with salt and pepper and then top with a third sheet. Cut into 6 or 12 squares and arrange the phyllo in cups, allowing the dough to crumple and spill out of the tops of the tins. Brush the inside of the pastry cups with remaining butter. Bake until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Cool.
  • To a skillet preheated over medium high heat add chicken, garlic and onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute 5 minutes, add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach and cook another 3 to 5 minutes. Add feta and taste to adjust seasonings.
  • To serve, place phyllo cups on a serving platter and fill with mounds of chicken, sun- dried tomatoes and spinach mixture. A hearty vegetable and olive salad makes a perfect starter or side to this delicious, quick cross between chicken pot pies and spanakopita.

These phyllo cups were a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.

These were a little too salty for my taste, but other than that they were very good.

I'm not usually a fan of phyllo dough, but these cups were amazing! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the phyllo dough was crispy and flaky.

These were delicious! The phyllo cups were crispy and the filling was flavorful. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and it worked out great.

These phyllo cups were amazing! I was a little skeptical about the combination of flavors, but it turned out to be perfect. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and spinach added a nice tangy and creamy flavor.
