wonderful!! i did make an addition, tho. layered 2 sheets of phyllo dough with no-fat butter flavored cooking spray sprayed between the sheets. placed chicken roll centered on short end, rolled over for one complete turn, folded in the sides of the dough and sprayed lightly, then completed the rolling to the end of the dough. sprayed the roll again lightly, and placed seam side down in the pan. the dough kept the chicken very moist!! yum!! and made a more elegant presentation on the plate. i coupled this dinner with recipe #24619 (creamy cheesy potato casserole). please note: make life simplier - do up extra chicken rolls in phyllo, and freeze individually on waxed paper on a cookie sheet. when solid, place rolls in a freezer bag. let thaw 2 hours at room temperature in the pan to be cooked in.
