* You will need a muffin tin a 6 portion tin for large muffins or a traditional 12 portion tin to prepare this recipe. Disposable muffin tins in both sizes are available in many large markets on baking aisles.
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

Just made this recipe and loved it! Thought the phyllo would give me an issue, but was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to work with. As well as the salt and pepper, I added a bit of cayenne to the 3rd layer of the pastry. Was a good choice. To the filling I added rosemary, mushrooms, marinated artichoke hearts and kalamata olives, can it get any better! What a perfect bundle of flavor.
