Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup plain, non-fat yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 Serrano chile pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 rool (20 sheets) Athens® Phyllo Dough (9″ x 14″), thawed
- 1 cup plain, light or non-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
Directions
In a large skillet, bring broth to a boil. Add chicken breasts, then lower heat and simmer, for 7 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool for 20 minutes. Dice chicken into 1/4″ cubes.
In a large bowl, combine chicken, yogurt, scallion, lime juice, chili pepper, ginger, cumin, turmeric, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.
Layer 4 Phyllo sheets, brushing each with olive oil. Cut the layered Phyllo in half lengthwise. About 1” from end of Phyllo strip, place about 1/4 cup of filling. Fold one corner of Phyllo diagonally across to opposite edge to form a triangle. Continue to fold triangle onto itself to end of strip. Lightly brush outside of triangle with oil. Repeat process 4 more times to make 10 triangles.
Place triangles seam side down, at least 1″ apart, on ungreased cookie sheet or baking pan. Bake in preheated 3501/4F oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Combine the plain yogurt and curry powder in a small bowl. Assemble by spooning 1 tablespoon of curry sauce over each turnover. Serve hot or warm.
