Recipe Introduction


A filling rich with chicken, cheese and chilies surrounded by golden crisp phyllo dough.





List of Ingredients



• 1 Tbsp Land o' Lakes Butter
  
• 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
  
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
  
• 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeño chiles
  
• 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken breast
  
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  
• 1/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Sour Cream
  
• 4 ounces (1 cup) LAND O LAKES® Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  
• 12 (18x14-inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  
• 1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
  
• Salsa, if desired
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 375°F. Melt butter in 10-inch skillet until sizzling; add red pepper, onion, garlic and chiles. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and liquid has evaporated (3 to 5 minutes). Add chicken and cumin; continue cooking until heated through (1 to 2 minutes). Remove from heat. Cool 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream, cheese and cilantro.
   
2. To assemble bites, place 1 sheet phyllo dough on flat surface; brush with melted butter. Top with 2 additional sheets, buttering each sheet. Trim stack using kitchen shears to 18x12 1/2 inches. Cut stack in half crosswise; cut each stack lengthwise into 2 1/2-inch strips.
   
3. Spoon 2 teaspoons filling onto center of end of each stack of strips. Form triangle by folding lower right-hand corner of each strip to opposite side. Continue folding in triangles to end of strip.
   
4. Place triangles onto ungreased baking sheet. Repeat 3 more times with remaining phyllo dough and filling. Brush appetizers with butter before baking. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with salsa, if desired.
