Directions
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Saute the spinach and onion in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until tender.
Remove from heat.
Stir the cream cheese into the hot spinach mixture.
Stir in the cheeses, egg yolk, flour, nutmeg and cumin.
Spoon 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture in the center of each chicken breast and roll as for a jelly roll.
Unfold phyllo sheets on a lightly floured surface and keep covered with plastic wrap so they won't dry out while working.
Stack 2 phyllo sheets on the floured working surface, brushing melted butter between the sheets.
Place 1 chicken roll on the short side of the phyllo stack and roll up gently, folding in the long side.
Repeat until all chicken breasts are rolled.
Place the rolls in a shallow baking dish and brush with melted butter.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 to 60 minutes or until hot and golden.
