Chicken Breasts in Phyllo
A delicious way to eat chicken!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon (can sub dill or basil)
- 36 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 6-ounce half breasts)
- salt and pepper
- 12 sheets phyllo dough
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, melted
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayo, green onion, lemon juice, garlic, and tarragon. Blend well.
- Lightly sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place a sheet of phyllo on a working surface. Quickly brush it with melted butter. Spread about 1½ tablespoons of the mayo mixture on each side of a chicken breast. Place the breast in one corner of the buttered phyllo sheet. Place another buttered phyllo sheet on top, and fold a corner over the breast. Fold the sides over and roll up the breast in the sheets to form a package. Place it in an ungreased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining breasts and phyllo sheets.
- Brush the packets with the rest of the butter and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until golden.
Notes
- *Pound the chicken breasts with meat tenderizer to even out thickness.
- *Phyllo is sometimes tricky to work with- be sure to cover with a damp towel so they do not dry out.
