Comment préparer Tavuk Borek Turkish Chicken Pastries

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast over boiling water for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cool completely.
Remove skin and bones from the chicken. Finely chop the chicken breast.
In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons (57g) of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups (475ml) of milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup (50g) ground almonds (or 1/2 cup raisins, if desired). Season generously with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and cover the surface of the sauce with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely.
Once cool, gently stir in the chopped chicken.
For individual borek: Cut 1 package (14.1 oz) phyllo pastry lengthwise into 3 equal strips. Cover with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.
Brush one phyllo strip lightly with olive oil. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling at one end.
Fold over the end and sides, then tightly roll up the pastry. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
Place the borek seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
Brush the tops with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
For a large borek: Use 3 lightly oiled sheets of phyllo pastry to line the base of a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking pan.
Spread the cooled chicken filling evenly over the pastry.
Cover with 3 more lightly oiled sheets of phyllo pastry. Sprinkle with water and lightly score the surface with a knife.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
