Poulet Dijonnaise In Phyllo Recipes

POULET DIJONNAISE IN PHYLLO

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1" strips. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add to pan and saute until strips are no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Transfer to platter; keep warm.
• Add mustard to skillet, scraping up any browned bits clinging to bottom of pan. Whisk in cream and mustard, blending thoroughly. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and reduced by 1/4. Stir in any juices from chicken, and cook until slightly reduced. Strain sauce over chicken pieces, tossing to coat completely.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on dry dish towel (keep the rest of the dough covered with a damp towel to prevent drying). Brush liberally with melted butter, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon crumbs. Repeat 3 times. Top with last sheet of phyllo pastry, brushing only the border with melted butter.
• Arrange chicken over bottom third of long side of dough, leaving 2 inch border on all sides. Turn up bottom edge then fold in sides, partially enclosing chicken. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Carefully place seam side down on ungreased baking sheet.
• Beat egg with water and use to glaze dough. Bake until phyllo is crisp and golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Cut into 2 inch slices. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE PHYLLO (OR FILO) DOUGH

Steps:

• Place 2 cups flour in a mixing bowl; make a well in the center. Drizzle in olive oil and add salt; add white wine vinegar and warm water. Mix until dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 1 or 2 minutes. Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured work surface.
• Knead until dough is smooth, using just enough flour to keep it from sticking to the work surface or your hands, 2 or 3 minutes. Continue to knead until dough is supple and elastic, about 5 more minutes. Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
• Divide dough into 20 (20 gram) portions using a kitchen scale; roll each portion into a ball. Place on plate and cover with plastic wrap to prevent dough balls from drying out while you begin to roll them out. Work in batches of 5.
• Mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons flour together in a bowl. Dust a work surface and the first dough ball with the cornstarch mixture. Flatten out the dough ball and roll out into a circle, about 5 inches in diameter. Dust again with cornstarch mixture. Set circle to one side. Roll out 4 more dough balls to about the same diameter and stack them on the first one, dusting each layer with more of the cornstarch mixture to keep them from sticking together.
• When you have 5 circles, roll out the stack to a larger circle about double in size, turning as you go to maintain a round shape. Separate each layer and lay out the circles. Re-apply more cornstarch mixture where needed and restack them. Roll again until the 5-layer stack is paper thin, about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place on a sheet of parchment paper; top with another piece of parchment. Gently roll up the dough; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate.
• Repeat with the remaining 15 balls of dough in batches of 5.
