Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Toss in the baby spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to slightly melt into the mixture. Set the filling aside.
-
Place one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface and lightly brush it with melted butter. Repeat this process with 3 more sheets, stacking them on top of each other.
-
Cut the stacked filo sheets into 4 equal squares. Spoon a generous portion of the chicken filling into the center of each square.
-
Fold the corners of the filo squares over the filling to create a neat packet. Brush the tops with more melted butter to help seal them.
-
Transfer the prepared filo chicken packets to the lined baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove from the oven and let the Filo Chicken Packets rest for a few minutes before serving.
