  • 1.5 Cups Flour
  • 5 Tbs Olive Oil
  • 1 Tbs Red Wine Vinegar

  • 7 oz. Feta

Instructions 

PHYLLO DOUGH INSTRUCTIONS

  • Get out a large mixing bowl. Mix the flour and salt together in it.
  • Make a little well in the middle.
  • Put the oil and vinegar in the well.
  • Move the bowl to your mixer, using the dough hook for about 15 seconds until the vinegar and oil are incorporated.
  • Remove the bowl, making another well.
  • Slowly add the water, mixing it until it becomes elastic.
  • Oil an ice cream scooper (or something similar) and create balls of the dough.
  • Coat them with oil, then wrap them in plastic.
  • Let the dough rest for an hour.
  • Lightly flour your rolling board.
  • Stretch the dough gently into a circle about the size of a personal pizza.
  • Roll the sough in all directions making it as thin as possible.
  • If your dough starts to stick, just sprinkle on a little flour.

CHICKEN FILING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Mix the chicken filling (all but the butter), making sure the Feta is crumbled.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place one piece of phyllo dough in the bottom of a 9x11” well-oiled pan.
  • Brush it lightly with butter.
  • Repeat 4 times.
  • Spread the chicken mixture on top of the dough evenly.
  • Top with another piece of phyllo lightly buttered.
  • Repeat 4-5 times.
  • Put a few fork holes on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes (the dough should be golden brown and crisp).
