Amount Ingredient
8 x boned skinned chicken breast halves
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
4 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 med onion chopped
2 tbl olive or vegetable oil
1/2 pkt cream cheese - (8-oz pkg) softened, cut up
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - (4 oz)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese - (2 oz)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese - (2 oz)
1 x egg yolk lightly beaten
1 tbl all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cumin
16 x frozen phyllo pastry sheets thawed
Melted butter or margarine as needed
Instructions:
Instructions: Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/8-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Saute spinach and onion in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes or until onion is tender. Remove from heat, and stir in cream cheese until blended. Stir in mozzarella cheese and next 6 ingredients.

Spoon 1/4 cup spinach mixture on center of each chicken breast half, and roll up, jellyroll fashion.

Unfold phyllo sheets on a lightly floured surface. Stack 2 phyllo sheets, brushing with melted butter between sheets. (Keep remaining phyllo sheets covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.) Place 1 chicken roll on short side of phyllo stack; gently roll up, folding in long side.

Repeat procedure with remaining pastry, melted butter, and chicken. Place rolls in a shallow pan, and brush with melted butter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until done. Serve on a bed of mixed greens, if desired.
