3 tablespoons sunflower oil
1/3 cup blanched almonds
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Salt and black pepper

7 large sheets of fillo (about 7 ounces)
About 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) butter, melted
1 egg yolk
To decorate: confectioners’ sugar and cinnamon

Preparation
