Tip
Don’t wash the bowl between any of the steps.
Pop the chicken in the freezer to cool as you can’t be too careful with chicken.
If you sprinkle the sugar separately to the cinnamon you get that lovely white snowy effect pictured above.
Stirring the chicken on a faster speed will help shred it as in the picture above. If you like the meat a bit chunkier the use speed soft for stirring.
A small amount of cornflour will help thicken the sauce.

This tastes great, and looks amazing when you serve it on the table. The only thing that is a bit fiddly is the pastry, but get the kids involved, they love it. I didn't use any chilli at all, and put in really big chunks of chicken so after the stirring the chicken was still chunky. I also put in some slivered almonds, which added a really nice touch. Everyone loved it, so I will definitely be making it again.
was really yummy! next time i would do less chilli as it overpowered the other flavours - but still so yummy!
I made this for a Moroccan Dinner Party last night and it won dish of the night. Super yummy and although a little fiddly with the filo, in isn't difficult. I used red onions and added some saffron in a tablespoon of water as well. Will definitely make again.
This has been sitting in my drafts forever. Hopefully I'll be able to post it!
