Chicken & Green Bean Phyllo Packages
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, freshly minced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite sized cubes
- 1 cup white onion, thinly sliced
- 14 cup cilantro, freshly chopped
- 18 teaspoon saffron thread
- 14 teaspoon hot chili flakes
- 1 12 cups green beans, very thin, washed and cut in half
- 6 sheets phyllo dough
- 14 cup butter, melted
- 13 cup almonds, thinly sliced and toasted
- salt
- pepper
- In a large pan bring stock, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, saffron, red chili flakes and cinnamon to a boil.
- Add Green Beans.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add chicken.
- Season with some salt and pepper and cover.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove from heat.
- Begin prepping the Phyllo Sheets by cutting the stack in half.
- Layer 3 sheets, brushing melted butter between each sheet.
- Repeat this process until you have 4 rectangles ready to fill.
- I like to do this right on a buttered baking sheet to ensure they don't break as they are moved.
- Using a slotted spoon, scoop mounds of the chicken, onion, and green bean mixture into the center of each phyllo rectangle.
- Sprinkle some of the almonds on top.
- Wrap the package by bringing each corner up and to the center.
- Squeeze together about 1 inch down from the top as if you are making a gift basket and fraying off the top.
- Spread out the top pieces to look pretty.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
