Recipe: Chicken in Phyllo (Susan Branch)

CHICKEN IN PHYLLO

Cut into these and out comes the melted cheese.

2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg phyllo
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
4 tbsp minced shallots
1 tsp sage
4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Halve chicken breasts and pound flat.

Layer 4 sheets of phyllo, buttering each sheet.

On each chicken breast sprinkle 1 tbsp shallots and 1/4 tsp sage. Lay 1 oz. cheese on each breast and roll up.

Place breast in the middle of the phyllo, at one end; roll once, fold in sides, brush with butter and continue rolling, buttering as you go. Lay all on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 25 minutes, until browned. Serve.
