List of Ingredients



• 10oz skinless, boned chicken breast halves, cut into small cubes
  
• ¼ cup butter
  
• 1 onion, finely chopped
  
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
  
• 5oz mushrooms, thinly sliced
  
• 1 tbsp green peppercorns, drained and coarsely chopped
  
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  
• ½ cup whipping cream
  
• ½ cup milk
  
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  
• 6 sheets phyllo pastry
  
• olive oil, for brushing
  
• ½ cup fresh, soft bread crumbs
  






Instructions



1. Melt half the butter in a heavy-based skillet. When foamy, add the onion, garlic and chicken and cook for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and peppercorns, cover and cook for 2 minutes, or until soft.
   
2. Add the remaining butter. When melted, add the flour and stir for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in the cream and milk. Return to the heat, add the parsley, sat and pepper and bring to a boil, stirring. Spread into a flat dish and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
   
3. Preheat the oven to 350F. Cover the phyllo with a damp towel. Working with one sheet at a time, lightly brush with the olive oil, top with the next sheet, brush with more oil, then top with a third sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo.
   
4. Cut the two stacks of layered phyllo pastry in half.
   
5. Fold the bottom of the pastry up over the filling, and then fold down the top.
   
6. Place the four pillows on a baking sheet, then brush with some oil and cut slashes. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden crisp.
