Photo: Chicken Cigars Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Seasoning by McCormick), half a palm full
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves, a handful
- 4 sheets phyllo dough
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place chicken in a bowl and mix with spices and parsley. Place a piece of phyllo on a nonstick cookie sheet, butter it and top with a second sheet. Divide the chicken in half. Form a 1-inch thick log the length of the long side of the phyllo dough. Roll the log in phyllo tightly. Cut the chicken filled phyllo into 4 "cigars" and brush with a dab more butter. Repeat to make a total of 8 chicken and phyllo roll-ups.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden.

Wrapped prosciutto and provolone in the phyllo. Delicious!

I did not like these at all. I made some Rotelle dip with Velveeta and Rotelle and used that to dip them in after reading the reviews about needing some type of sauce and while that made it somewhat better for me, I still was not thrilled. The phyllo was hard to work with, but I did get the hang of it after ruining a few sheets - although I could not get one long roll without it breaking completely, so I had to use half sheets. The consistency of the phyllo with the butter was perfect and nice and crispy, but the chicken mixture was very bland and the seasoning overpowered the taste of the chicken. Mostly, the poultry seasoning was what I tasted and if I ever did decide to try this again, I'd get rid of that one spice completely. This recipe was not a total fail though, the phyllo dough has given me some great ideas about other mixtures I could put in there!

I really liked the idea of this recipe. It was a fun finger food but I will alter the seasonings if I make it again. The poultry seasoning seemed to overwhelm the other flavors but maybe it was just my tastebuds (sage is my least favorite herb.
