Ingredients

1/2 stick butter, melted
3 sheets phyllo pastry dough, found in the freezer section
Coarse salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 thin cut boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips on an angle
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small yellow skinned onion, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, 10 to 12 pieces, chopped
2 boxes chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
3/4 pound, 12 ounces, feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Brush 6 or 12-cup muffin tins with butter using pastry brush. Brush a layer of phyllo dough with butter, top with a second sheet of pastry, butter, then season the phyllo with salt and pepper and then top with a third sheet. Cut into 6 or 12 squares and arrange the phyllo in cups, allowing the dough to crumple and spill out of the tops of the tins. Brush the inside of the pastry cups with remaining butter. Bake until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Cool.

To a skillet preheated over medium high heat add chicken, garlic and onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute 5 minutes, add the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach and cook another 3 to 5 minutes. Add feta and taste to adjust seasonings.

To serve, place phyllo cups on a serving platter and fill with mounds of chicken, sun- dried tomatoes and spinach mixture. A hearty vegetable and olive salad makes a perfect starter or side to this delicious, quick cross between chicken pot pies and spanakopita.

Great dish without the phyllo cups
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is one of my staple chicken dishes. It's a quick easy dish to prepare for dinner or brown bag. I sometimes opt out the... onions,but still yummy!! I've never tried it with the phyllo cups, but never felt a need to use the cupsRead more

Phenomenal!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was just fantastic! I make a lot of Rachel's recipes and this one is definitely one of the best. It tastes delicious,... is full of nutrients, and is easy to make... and this was my first time using phyllo dough (if there are any other newbies out there, thaw the dough out first... I made the mistake of not doing so and therefore shattered my first roll :) ). I also added some toasted pine nuts. It added great flavor, color, and texture. This dish is just so very good and so attractive looking!! Thanks to all who reviewed it and said how great it was!!!Read more

AMAZING!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is so incredibly delicious! I made this for dinner guests last night and we all loved it (even my two toddlers were... going back for seconds!) I too used cream of spinach (recipe on Food Network from Emeril Lagasse) and it was a nice addition of tastes. Thank you Rachel Ray!!!Read more

Yum-O!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This makes an awesome and easily transported appetizer or a nice light meal. The savory filling topped with the salty feta... is a great match. I made the recipe twice in less than 40 miniutes. The 2nd time around I changed one thing - I doubled the amount of chicken and used leftover shredded rotisserie chicken. This recipe rocks! Thanks again, Rachel!!!Read more

It's a keeper
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very flavorful mix, instead of messing w/ the phyllo cups I roll the mix up in flatout (flatbread) or put it on pre-made... pizza dough. Luv it!Read more
