Notes
Nutritional values are an estimate and vary according to ingredients used and serving size.Fillo dough is frozen. Be sure to thaw about an hour before beginning, or you can thaw quickly in the microwave at 30% power for a minute or two. Check it to be sure it only thaws - not cooks! Cover fillo dough with wet paper towels while assembling the phyllo chicken recipe to keep from drying out.There is enough meat to make about 12 twists, wraps or triangles. My package of fillo dough had 2 separate packages inside. The squares were about 6 inches wide.If the dough you use is a different shape, just cut it in half.
