Butter Chicken Phyllo Parcels
Or maybe it was just strategy. You can be the judge, after you try this recipe. Give us phyllo anything and I am happy. My family loves anything I stuff into phyllo pastry too. That crisp pastry just makes everything taste better. I do make a lot of pyllo parcels which goes down without a complaint. For the dinner I served this with some rocket leaves with a balsamic dressing. I thought it worked well because it cut down the richness of the butter chicken.
How to cook the Butter Chicken
I cooked this Butter Chicken Curry very similar to my Butter Chicken Recipe posted here on my blog. The only major difference is the amount of sauce. You can’t have too much sauce in this curry because it will make the phyllo pastry soggy. So it may not be as authentic as the usual Butter Chicken but in my opinion it still tastes amazing. I use chicken breasts because my kids, nor do I like the fattiness of boneless thighs. Chicken breasts are not easy to cook but with practice you will perfect it. Remember never to overcook chicken breasts. For curries I flash fry my chicken and then add it to the sauce at the very end. Flash fry is a very quick fry on high heat, just enough to brown the chicken. It doesn’t have to be fully cooked if you’re adding it to the sauce. You will cook it further in the sauce and here too it’s cooked on high heat, literally for a minute. If not fully cooked it will cook further in the hot sauce. Cooking it this way I’ve never has stringy, chewy chicken. It is always tender and soft.
These phyllo parcels can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake them. Once cooked they can also be reheated in the airfryer for about 4 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. I hope you enjoy this recipe and if you do please drop me a comment and a star rating, it is always appreciated.
