Jump to Recipe

I took inspiration from a recipe on the BBC Good Food website when making these chicken, mozzarella and pesto filo parcels.   The main differences are that I used pesto from a jar and made 8 parcels, to enjoy as finger food at a picnic, buffet or party.

The combination of flavours is delicious - chicken and pesto go very well together anyway, and the addition of sun-dried tomatoes and oozy mozzarella takes it to a new level.   I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!

  • This recipe for chicken, mozzarella and pesto filo parcels is easily doubled if you want to make more.

How to make these Chicken, Mozzarella and Pesto Filo Parcels

Ingredients

  • 225g boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, chopped into small cubes
  • 3 sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 125g mozzarella, grated
  • 2 tbsp green pesto
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 200g pack filo pastry sheets
  • 60g butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put a baking tray in to heat.
  2. Put the chicken, tomatoes and mozzarella in a bowl and stir in the pesto. Season well.
  3. Brush 1 filo sheet with butter. Lay a second sheet on top, brush with butter, then top with a third filo sheet. (Keep remaining filo covered with a damp tea towel while you work.) Halve the filo stack lengthways. Place 2 heaped tablespoons chicken mixture along the shorter edge. Fold in the sides, then roll up. Before you get to the end, brush with a little butter to seal the seam.  Repeat with the remaining filo pastry and chicken mixture to make 8 parcels.
  4. Transfer the parcels to the preheated baking tray, seam-side down. Brush with remaining butter and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden.
