Chicken & Ricotta Phyllo Bundles
1
Place frozen phyllo dough in refrigerator for 7-8 hours to thaw overnight. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours before using. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2
Make the stuffing by combining white wine, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, pepper, salt, ricotta cheese, egg, parmesan cheese and minced parsley.
3
Melt butter in small bowl in microwave and whisk in olive oil.
4
To make each bundle take one sheet of phyllo and brush the butter/olive oil mixture on it, then fold it in half on a dry work surface. Keep the remainder of the phyllo covered with damp towel to prevent drying out. Centre a chicken thigh on phyllo about 2-inches (5 cm) from short edge. Place ⅛ of the stuffing mix on chicken and pat down using fingers. Fold phyllo edges over chicken and roll up. Place, seam side down, on a baking sheet sprayed with vegetable oil spray.
5
Brush the tops of the bundles with butter/oil. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake in a preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until golden and chicken is no longer pink inside.
