Chicken Parcels with
Herb Butter Recipe
Ingredients
-
4 chicken breast fillets, skinned
-
150g/5 oz butter, softened
-
90ml/6 tbsp mixed chopped fresh herbs such as
thyme, parsley oregano and rosemary
-
5ml/1 tsp lemon juice
-
5 large sheets filo pastry, defrosted if frozen
-
1 egg, beaten
-
30ml/2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
salt and ground black pepper
Serves 4
Method:
-
Season the chicken fillets. Melt 25g/1 oz of the butter in a frying
pan and fry the chicken fillets to seal and brown lightly. Allow to
cool.
-
Preheat the oven to 190C. Put the remaining butter, the herbs, lemon
juice and seasoning in a food processor or blender and process until
smooth. Melt half of this herb butter.
-
Take one sheet of filo pastry and brush with melted herb butter.
Keep the other sheets covered with damp dish towel. Fold the filo
pastry sheet in half and brush again with butter. Place a chicken
fillet about 2.5cm/ 1 in from the top end.
-
Dot the chicken with a quarter of the remaining unmelted herb
butter. Fold in the sides of the pastry, then roll up to enclose it
completely.
-
Place seam-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Repeat with the other chicken fillets.
-
Brush the filo parcels with beaten egg. Cut the last sheet of filo
into strips, then scrunch and arrange on top. Brush the parcels once
again with the egg glaze, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake
for about 35-50 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot.
