Phyllo Triangles

These Phyllo Triangles are a great way to use leftover chicken from our Easy Chicken Salad Recipe. You could use one of your own chicken salad recipes or a favorite chicken pie recipe, but just make sure that it is not too wet.

Ingredients:

You will need a pastry cutter or sharp knife, a pastry brush and baking trays.

Method:

1. Open out the phyllo sheets, keeping them stacked in a pile. With a pastry cutter, cut 3 inch / 8cm strips with a pastry cutter. Stack the strips and cover them with a lightly dampened clean tea towel.
2. Take one of the strips. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Because I shy away from greasy food, I tend to underdo the butter - so brush it on VERY sparingly. Place a teaspoonful of chicken mixture near the end of the strip. Now fold the strip up, forming a triangle as you go - see photographs above. Brush the finished triangle lightly and place on an ungreased baking tray. Repeat the process for the remaining pastry strips. These triangles can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator on their baking sheets until you are ready to cook them.
3. Heat the oven to 350° F / 180° C. Bake the triangles until they are golden brown - about 7 - 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
4. Serve these Phyllo Triangles as an appetizer - they really are delicious and always go down a treat!
