- 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
Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put a baking tray in to heat.
Put the chicken, tomatoes and mozzarella in a bowl and stir in the pesto. Season well.
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.
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.
