Filo Chicken Parcels
Recipe by:
Kristin Arnett
Chicken breast halves and a tasty mayonnaise, lemon and garlic sauce are wrapped in filo pastry then baked. Yum! I used to make this special recipe when I ran my own catering company years ago.

Preparation method
Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 25 minutes1.
In a small bowl, combine the shallots, mayonnaise, lemon juice, 3/4 of the garlic and tarragon; set aside. In another small bowl, combine the butter and remaining garlic.
2.
Place one sheet of filo pastry on a work surface with a short edge facing you. Brush evenly with butter mixture. Repeat with one more sheet of filo. (Keep the remaining sheets covered with a tea towel or plastic wrap to avoid them drying out).
3.
Lightly sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Centre one chicken breast on the lower third of filo. Spread about 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise mixture over chicken breast. Fold bottom edge over chicken then fold in sides. Roll up in a parcel; cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Make five more chicken parcels like this.
4.
Place the filo parcels in an ungreased baking tin. Brush tops with remaining garlic butter; sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered, at 190 degrees C for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the pastry is browned.

excellent recipe - i traded chives for the shallots and was pretty heavy handed with the garlic - no parmesan to use. A great recipe - wonder what it would be like with fish?

LOVE this recipe. I improvised a little and cooked the chicken and diced it first, then mixed it in with the other ingredients and added bacon and cream cheese... Delish! Thanks for the great recipe!!

probably put too much lemon in it - it tasted a bit "tartarey" but otherwise was very nice!

Loved it! Had to adapt it a little for just my husband and myself, and I think I made it a little too lemony, but otherwise it was great - will definitely make it again!

Altered ingredient amounts.
Due to rave reviews and requests from the family I have made this receipe two nights running! I'm not a huge fan of eating the same food two nights in a row so I wrapped the chicken in rindless short cut bacon (two pieces per chicken) and added a tablespoon of parmesan cheese to the mixture in each parcel. My family absolutely loved it!

Wow! This receipe is amazing. All the flavours compliment each other. A very easy and tasty receipe to prepare. After making and tasting the mayonnaise and lemon juice mixture I found the flavours overpowering. Don't be deterred once cooked this receipe is fantastic. Thank you very much for sharing!
