Chicken Puff in Fillo Dough

This Chicken Puff in Fillo Dough is one of the starter recipes I make when I have guests over for lunch or dinner. This can be served as an appetizer and can be somewhat daunting at the beginning to make. However, once you get the hang of it, I think you will find it more manageable.
