Chicken Spinach Phyllo Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
1 5-ounce can chunk-style chicken, drained and flaked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1/2 of an 8-ounce tub cream cheese with chives and onion
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 sheets frozen phyllo dough (about 17 x 12-inch rectangles), thawed
1/3 cup margarine or butter, melted
Directions
1 For filling, in a large mixing bowl combine chicken, cheddar cheese, spinach, cream cheese, walnuts, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, and nutmeg. Set aside.
2 Unroll the phyllo dough; cover with plastic wrap. Remove 1 sheet phyllo; brush lightly with some of the melted margarine. Place another phyllo sheet on top; brush with more melted margarine.
3 Spoon one-fourth of the filling (about 1/2 cup) evenly down the long side of the phyllo, about 2 inches from a long side and 1 inch from a short side. Fold 2 inches of the long side over the filling; fold in the short sides. Loosely roll up, jelly-roll style, starting from the long side. Place roll, seam side down, on an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo, remaining margarine, and remaining filling.
4 Brush tops with any remaining margarine. With a sharp knife, score rolls at 1 1/2 inch intervals. Bake in a 400° oven about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
