GREEK CHICKEN | |
3/4 c. mushrooms, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp. olive oil 4 lg. pickled grape leaves or 1/2 of a 10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach 3/4 c. feta cheese, crumbled 1/4 tsp. dried mint, crushed 1/4 tsp. dried thyme, crushed 1/4 tsp. dried sage, crushed 3 sheets frozen phyllo dough (18 x 14 inch rectangles), thawed 1/3 c. butter, melted 2 whole medium chicken breasts (1 1/2 lbs.), skinned, boned & halved lengthwise Cook mushrooms and garlic in oil 4 to 5 minutes or until tender. Set aside. Remove and discard any stems from grape leaves, rinse. Stack and roll up leaves tightly as for jelly roll. Cut into 1/8 inch thick slices, then crosswise into pieces. If using spinach, thaw; drain, squeezing out liquid. For filling, in a bowl, combine mushroom mixture, grape leaves or spinach, cheese, mint, thyme, and sage. Using 4 phyllo sheets and half the butter, brush each sheet generously with butter, then stack sheets. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with a damp dish towel while working.) Cut stack in half, forming 2 (14 x 9 inch) rectangles. Place a chicken piece at one of the short ends of 1 phyllo rectangle, tucking under narrow tip of chicken breast. Top with a 1/4 of the filling. Starting at chicken end, carefully roll up. Brush end and sides of phyllo with more butter; fold under to seal. Place, seam side down, on a rack in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan (make sure sides of rolls don't touch). Repeat with remaining ingredients. Brush remaining butter over rolls. If desired, cover tightly; chill up to several hours. Bake in 375 degree oven 30 minutes (35 minutes for chilled rolls) or until chicken is tender and phyllo is golden. Serves 4.
