Description
Discover the perfect Moroccan Spiced Chicken Briouats – a delectable fusion of tender chicken, aromatic spices, and flaky phyllo pastry. These bite-sized appetizers are bursting with flavor and ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 teaspoons Moroccan spice blend (cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 12 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
– 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, Moroccan spice blend, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
3. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Brush with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo and brush with more butter.
4. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the spiced chicken mixture in the center of the phyllo sheets. Fold the phyllo over the filling, creating a triangle shape, and continue folding to create a triangular pastry.
5. Place the Moroccan Spiced Chicken Briouats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve the Moroccan Spiced Chicken Briouats warm, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
For a crispy exterior, be sure to brush the phyllo dough generously with melted butter before assembling the briouats. You can also try substituting the chicken with ground lamb or beef for a different flavor profile.
