Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 400°F. Mix shredded chicken, diced onion, pine nuts, spice blend, salt, and pomegranate molasses in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Brush a phyllo sheet with olive oil, lay it on a sheet pan. Spoon 1/6 of filling along the short edge, roll tightly, and tuck in ends.

  3. Step 3

    Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling, spacing rolls 2 inches apart on the pan.

  4. Step 4

    Brush each roll with olive oil. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and edges curl slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze fresh lemon over the rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, 3 rolls per person.
