Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup julienne (matchstick-cut) carrots
  • 2 cups cut-up cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 oz)
  • 4 medium green onions, thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
  • 1 box (9 oz) frozen asparagus cuts, thawed, drained

  • 1 box (16 oz; 40 sheets) frozen phyllo (filo) pastry sheets (14x9 inch), thawed
  • Butter-flavored cooking spray

Steps

  • 1

  • 2
    To make 1 bundle, layer 5 phyllo pastry sheets, generously spraying each layer with cooking spray (sheets can be stacked randomly). Keep remaining pastry sheets covered with damp cloth until needed to prevent dough from drying out. Place about 1/2 cup chicken mixture in center of stack of pastry. With both hands, lift pastry stack towards center and twist in center to make bundle (pastry may tear a little). Spray outside of each bundle generously with cooking spray; place on ungreased large cookie sheet. Repeat to make 7 more bundles.
  • 3
    Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until pastry is browned and crisp.

  • If you can't find 14x9-inch phyllo (filo) pastry sheets, cut larger sheets to this smaller size.
  • Delight your dinner guests by serving these individual packets on a bed of wild rice pilaf.
