Not awful by any means, but nothing special. The chicken didn't come out any tastier or more tender with the poaching, which was time consuming. The whole bundle was rather salty as well.

These were pretty tasty. I didn't actually measure out the cheese for each one though and I don't think I put enough in...so next time I would put a lot more on...but I'm a huge cheese fan. The chicken had nice flavor, and the phyllo sheets got so nice and crispy. Great recipe. Thanks for posting!

This recipe is great, I added onions to mine, but the recipe didn't need anything extra, it is good just the way it is.
