Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix shredded chicken, cooked rice, allspice, 0.5 tsp salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Brush a phyllo sheet with olive oil, place on a baking sheet, and add 2 tbsp chicken-rice filling in the center.

  3. Step 3

    Fold phyllo corners over filling to create a rough square. Brush with oil and repeat with remaining sheets.

  4. Step 4

    Bake ouzi until phyllo is golden brown and crisp, about 12–14 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, whisk yogurt with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss warm chickpeas with 1 tbsp olive oil and warm spices.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot ouzi alongside yogurt sauce and spiced chickpeas (fatteh).
