Directions
-
Thaw the phyllo pastry for a half hour or so at room temperature.
Keep covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
-
Carefully cut a "pocket" in each chichen breast and fill with pieces of
ham and cheese slices. Fold closed.
-
Spread the top outside of chicken with spicy mustard.
-
Carefully select a single sheet of phyllo pastry and coat with a tablespoon
or so of soft butter. Top with one or more sheets, coating each with butter.
-
Place chicken on pastry and fold up like an envelope. Phyllo pastry
is very delicate; if it tears just overlap a bit and carry on. Don't waste
any time or it will just soften and tear even more. Refreeze unused portions.
-
Place on an ungreased baking sheet or in a shallow pan, brush with a little
more butter, and bake at 350°F for 50 minutes.
