Love me some Greek food...
Ingredients (Serves 4)
*8 sheets of phyllo, defrosted
*2 Tbs. butter, melted
*2 chicken Breasts, halved horizontally (makes 4 halves)
*2 cups packed spinach leaves, chopped
*3 cloves garlic, crushed
*1/4 tsp. nutmeg
*1 Tbs. lemon juice
*1 ½ tsp. salt
*1 tsp. ground black pepper
*~1/2 cup ricotta cheese
*~1/2 cup feta, crumbled
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pound chicken breast halves until thin (about ¼ inch thick and flattened out).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, spray a bit of cooking spray and add the spinach, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg. Toss together and allow spinach to wilt for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses until slightly melted.
3. Spread ¼ of the filling on each chicken breast half and roll up.
3. On a clean surface. Place one sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo. Fold the two sheets in half (to make four layers). Place one of the rolled chickens at one end and roll the phyllo up. Tuck the ends down and place on a baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with remaining chicken.
4. Brush the top of each phyllo-wrapped chicken with a bit more butter. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Cut into the thickest one to make sure all chicken is cooked through (no pink). Tops should be golden brown and crisp.
