Phyllo Curry Chicken. An easy, flavourful dinner idea or make them bite sized for a delicious finger food idea for parties and get togethers.
Today’s recipe is one that I have served as an entree at dinner but is also a great hors d’oeuvre idea as well. You can make them in a much smaller size but I have found it is faster and better to make about 8 inch long thinner pastries.
You can then cut them in smaller pieces and arrange them on a serving plate to be handed around while entertaining.
This is another recipe that can be made in advance and just popped into the oven when you need it. That’s especially great for entertaining too.
NOTE: I like to debone my own chicken breasts so that I can roast the bones and skins for stock later. I freeze them until I have enough to cover a baking sheet then use the instructions in my post on making Chicken Stock here.
I have even frozen these, thawed them and baked them with no problems. My Bakeapple Peach and Ginger Chutney is a very good accompaniment to this dish.

Phyllo Curry Chicken
Phyllo Curry Chicken. An easy, flavourful dinner idea or make them bite sized for a delicious finger food idea for parties and get togethers.
Ingredients
- 12 sheets phyllo pastry
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced small
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Chinese five spice powder
- 3/4 cup finely diced red pepper
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves finely minced garlic
Instructions
Brush butter between the sheets of phyllo dough, stacking 3 sheets per serving.
For the filling, mix all ingredients together well and divide into 4 equal portions.
Working on the shortest side of the phyllo pastry, spoon the filling in a straight line close to the edge, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space on either side.
Fold the edges in over the filling to form the ends of the roll.
Roll up the filling in the phyllo pastry and set, seam side sown, on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 35-45 minutes at 375 degrees F until the phyllo pastry is a medium golden brown.

Do you cook the chicken first or use it raw (so that it cooks in the oven)? It sounds delicious!

Raw. It cooks inside.

I have been making this recipe for 5 years because it is so easy and a family favourite so I thought that maybe tonight, as I am making it, would be a good time to say thank-you for the great recipe :)

I love phyllo pastry and this new recipe sounds delicious.....and one I will definitely use. I have found though .... when putting the phyllo sheets together that if after coating with a little butter you lightly sprinkle with breadcrumbs before placing the other layers on top and continue the same with each layer.......for sweet recipes I have also used finely ground nuts......this helps keeping the layers separate when baking...and they come out even flakier.

Another great recipe. I am 73 and wasn't cooking and eating much - just snacking mostly but your recipes have got me interested in cooking again. I made your blueberry/lime jam and thought our west coast blueberries weren't strong enough flavour but now that the jam has set for a week it tastes great. Am making your baked peaches jam today and I'm sure it will be a winner too. The only problem is me trying not to say "sure"when people ask me for a jar.
