CHICKEN PILLOWS 
3 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
2 whole chicken breasts, halved and skinned
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 lb. phyllo dough (pastry leaves found in freezer section)

In a medium bowl combine lemon juice, garlic and salt; mix well. Cut chicken breasts into cubes and add to the above. Marinate for 4-6 hours.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove phyllo leaves from package and place between sheets of waxed paper. Cover with damp towel. Remove one leaf and cut in half. Gently brush both halves with butter. Fold each half crosswise; brush each half again with butter.

Place two cubes of chicken on end of folded half. Roll halfway up, then fold in sides and finish rolling. Brush with butter; continue until sheets are finished. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Be creative - add cheese (double up phyllo leaves); add your favorite vegetables; substitute shrimp for chicken.
