Easy Chicken & Mushroom Pastries - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    500 g chicken breasts, all visible fat removed
    150 g mushrooms
    1 small leek
    1/4 cup finely sliced shallots or 1/4 cup spring onion
    1/3 cup extra light sour cream
    190 g phyllo pastry, sheets thawed
    1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 pinch salt, to taste
    pepper, to taste
    canola oil cooking spray
    dried herbs (optional)
Preparation
    Thinly slice chicken breasts and lightly brown in a wok/ pan, using a little olive oil.
    Add thinly sliced mushrooms and leeks to pan, cook until just softened (only about 1 1/2 minutes).
    Add extra-light sour cream, shallots, mustard, salt and pepper, cook until combined (about 1 minute). Set aside.
    Using 2 phyllo pastry sheets per pastry, place 1/6 of the mixture in centre and gently fold.
    How you fold is up to you- -I recommend folding sheets in half first to prevent tearing.
    Place folded parcels on baking paper-lined oven dish, and lightly spray with canola oil.
    Sprinkle with mixed herbs.
    Bake in moderate oven (180\u00b0C) for 10-15 minutes, or until pastry is crisp and chicken mixture heated.
    To brown pastry, remove from oven and place under grill for about 1 minute.
    Watch them though, they brown very quickly!
    Serve with a side of green salad or veggies.
