Chicken Triangles Recipe
Ingredients
| 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, skinned, all visible fat removed | ||
| Olive oil | 1/2 Tablespoon | |
| Lemon juice | 2 Tablespoon | |
| Garlic | 2 Clove (5gm), minced | |
| Minced parsley | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Dried tarragon | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Salt | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
| 10 sheets phyllo pastry | ||
| 3 tablespoons acceptable margarine, melted | ||
Directions
Finely chop chicken.
Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, tarragon and salt in a small bowl.
Add chicken and toss to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Lightly brush a sheet of phyllo with melted margarine.
Stack a second sheet on top.
Cut the two-layer sheet into five short strips, crosswise, with scissors or a sharp knife.
Place a teaspoon of chicken filling on a two-layer strip, 1 inch away from the bottom.
Fold a corner across the filling and continue folding, corner to corner (the way a flag is folded).
The filling expands during cooking, so do not fold the dough too tightly.
Tuck the excess dough under the triangle, then place on a baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining eight sheets of phyllo and chicken.
Lightly brush the prepared triangles with melted margarine.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
