Ingredients:
4 small chicken breasts, boned and skinned
4 oz packet soft herb cheese
1 salt and pepper
10 filo pastry sheets, warmed to room, temperature
2 oz melted butter
1 lemon juice
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas Mark 6. Open out the chicken
breasts and stuff each of the pockets with cheese. Season.
Unwrap filo pastry and keep covered with cling film or a clean damp
cloth. Take one sheet of pastry, brush with butter, then lay a second
sheet on top and again brush with butter. Place the chicken breast at
one end, sprinkle with lemon juice and roll up in the pastry, folding
in the sides to make a neat parcel. Brush again with melted butter.
Repeat for other parcels. Use remaining pastry sheets to garnish the
parcel tops.
Place parcels on a greased baking tray and cook in preheated oven for
20-25 minutes until golden.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"Poultry is for cookery what canvas is for painting, and the cap of Fortunatus for the charlatans. It is served to us boiled, roast, hot or cold, whole or in portions, with or without sauce, and always with equal success." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
