Chicken and Kale Filo Parcels

This dish came about because I felt like chicken, there was filo in the fridge and kale was on special...

Ingredients

  • Chicken
  • Kale
  • Sweet potato
  • Carrot
  • Mixed herbs
  • Grated cheese
  • Filo pastry
  • Butter/milk/egg (for wash)

Method

  1. Pre-heat fan forced oven to 190 degrees C
  2. Chop chicken and kale, both quite small/fine
  3. Grate sweet potato and carrot (I didn't use a lot of either of these)
  4. Fry up chicken and then add veggies and herbs and cook until kale has wilted
  5.  Lay out two sheets of filo pastry together and add some mixture, sprinkle cheese on top, fold into a parcel of some sort and then place on a greased oven tray
  6. Brush butter/milk/egg onto the filo package
  7. Cook for about 20 min until brown
Notes:
Would probably also work with other pastry as more of a pastie.
I may also have added a chicken stock cube to the filling mixture.
A little paprika sprinkled on the packages after they have been brushed looks cool too.
I decided to try chopping the kale and grating sweet potato and carrot with a food processor and it worked ok.
I also served this with home made sweet potato wedges which were super easy and tasty.
