Another phyllo recipe I love and have made many times.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As I have said before, I love working with phyllo dough and this recipe is so amazingly simple and elegant. <\/span><\/p>\n

My journey to learning to cook, create, and recreate dishes has been a long one. As a teenager my sister (twin) and I never cooked. Our “cooking” for the week was to make dinner the nights our mother had her bowling league. The only meal I remember making is Bologna sandwiches. Once I made some home made divinity candy to send to my husband at college. Well, his fraternity brothers were always eating the cookies etc that I would send. That was until after the divinity incident. Evidently I did not do a very good job of shelling the pecans and one of his frat brothers borrowed a piece of candy and broke a tooth on the shell that was hidden away  inside the candy. So, even though I did experiment with cookies and candies, I didn’t do any serious cooking until I got married, then my sister and I started sharing and collecting recipes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Recently I calculated I have probably prepared 43,800 meals (at least) in the last 40 years 7 months. We have been in a dinner\/supper club 4 different times since we have been married and we have always learned something new and creative from each group.<\/span><\/p>\n

My daughter has prepared this dish several times and one of those times she was still in college. So, if you are thinking this is too hard, think again. I have catered this several times for rehearsal dinners and dinner parties and it is always a hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

 To me anything served in a little packet whether it be phyllo or parchment packets is a surprise waiting to be discovered. What’s hiding way all snug and wrapped up in that phyllo or parchment bundle?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Pretty simple ingredients for such an elegant entree.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The celery and onion get sauteed and then the chicken goes in and that’s it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

About 1\/2 cup chicken, then fold in the sides and roll up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Roll ‘er up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These can be prepared the day before, cover with plastic wrap and bake when ready the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n

I made a brown rice and added some sauted asparagus pieces to the rice at the end of cooking time.<\/span><\/p>\n
