Curried Chicken Phyllo Parcels Recipes

CURRY LIME CHICKEN PHYLLO ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the sliced onion. Cook for 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Then add the scallions and garlic and continue to cook until everything gets slightly golden, about 8 more minutes. Lower the heat, add the curry powder and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Turn the heat off.
• Add the shredded chicken to the scallion and onion mixture along with the chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and salt and pepper, to taste. Stir to combine.
• Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Melt 4 tablespoons butter and set aside. Prepare a sheet pan with a layer of nonstick foil or parchment paper.
• Take your phyllo dough and lay out one sheet on a clean surface. Brush it with a little melted butter and sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs. Put another layer of phyllo dough on top, and repeat the butter and breadcrumb process again and again until you have 4 layers. Spoon half of the curry chicken mixture along one edge (lengthwise) of the phyllo. Roll it up tightly and set the roll seam side down on the baking sheet.
• Repeat the process with the rest of the phyllo and chicken mixture to make a second roll. Brush each roll with the rest of the melted butter and score both rolls diagonally into 1 inch pieces with a serrated knife. You'll get about 8 pieces out of each roll. You want to cut them about ¾ of the way down, without cutting all the way through. Bake for 12 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Slice them the rest of the way through and serve immediately.

• Add the curry paste and coconut milk and simmer for another 10 minutes.

• Roll out the pastry and cut out four 17 centimetre circles.
• Divide the filling between the pastry circles.
• Beat the egg and brush the edges of the pastry circles.
• Fold the pastry over to form a semi-circle and seal the edges by pressing them down with a fork.
• Brush the tops of the parcels with the rest off the beaten egg and sprinkle with the poppy seeds.
• Chill in the fridge for half an hour (I never really bother with this) and then bake in a pre-heated oven (200 C, 400 F or Gas Mark 6) for about 30 to 40 minutes until golden.
