Cooking Steps

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer chicken to a baking dish. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, celery and leek, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach until wilted, 1 minute

• Add garlic paste, Nan's special seasoning, chicken-style stock powder and the plain flour to the pan, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the milk and cook, stirring, until reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer veggie filling to the baking dish with the chicken and stir to combine.

TIP: Add a splash of water if chicken mixture looks too thick.

• To a small heatproof bowl, add the butter and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Brush each sheet of filo pastry with butter. Lightly scrunch sheets of pastry and place on top of the chicken mixture to completely cover. • Sprinkle with mixed sesame seeds (see ingredients).

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the sesame seeds!

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty, flavoursome dish, though some found it overly salty or garlicky; consider adjusting seasoning to taste.
  • Ease of prep: Easy to make and a great way to learn working with filo pastry, but some found it time-consuming to reduce the filling.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding extra vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms; reduce garlic paste if desired for a milder flavour.
  • Next-day meals: Leftovers heat up well, making it great for lunch the next day.
  • Portions: Some found it generously sized, while others wanted more chicken or vegetables in the filling.
  • Texture: The crispy filo topping was praised, but ensure even cooking by adjusting oven time or temperature as needed.
