We just ate this for dinner. Good recipe idea. However, it needs some seasoning. Be sure to add your favorite seasoning to the chicken/pepper/cheese combination before wrapping it up in phyllo dough.

wow what a beautiful , impressive entree!! Served this for guests for Sunday Lunch, my guests were impressed and wanted the recipe. Very delicious and very pretty served cut diagonally in half. I made 6 and instead of butter used veggie spray to cut down on the calories a wee bit. Used what I had in for the cheeses old sharp cheddar and Parmesan. With the roasted red peppers and spinach it was a very tasty combination of flavours. The crispy crunch of the Phyllo is perfect. I hate to admit it but I forgot to add the salt and pepper to the oil so sprinkled sea salt and freshly ground pepper on top of the packages; turned out wonderful. A lovely entree to serve anytime to guests, thanks for posting, I will be making this again!!
