Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces ounces cooked shredded chicken breast
  • 1/4 - 1/3 cup cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cup currants (or raisins)
  • 2 tablespoons tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons tablespoons minced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 boxes (30 cups in total) Athens mini fillo shells

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the mini fillo shells. This includes the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, currants, cilantro, green onions, curry powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the chicken is well-coated with the yogurt and spices.
  2. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer it creamier, feel free to add more Greek yogurt. If you like it spicier, consider adding another sprinkle of curry powder.
  3. Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep it refrigerated until you're ready to fill the cups. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven heats, prepare a baking sheet.
  5. Take the phyllo shells from their packaging and place them on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes. You want them to be just golden and crispy, not overly browned.
  6. After 5 minutes, remove the phyllo shells from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. They’ll be hot, so be careful!
  7. Once the shells are cool enough to handle, fill each one generously with the prepared chicken curry salad. Aim for a heaping spoonful in each cup for the best bite.
  8. Arrange the filled phyllo cups on a serving platter, and get ready for compliments! They can be served immediately or chilled for a short while before serving.
  9. Enjoy your Curried Chicken Salad Phyllo Cups with friends and family, and watch them disappear!

Notes

Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. However, fill shells only when ready to serve to keep them crispy.
