This was so pretty and yummy, with an amazingly small amount of effort. This was my first time working with phyllo pastry, and this was the perfect recipe to try it. Even my kids liked it. I used butter flavored Pam, and accidentally put the pesto on top of the chicken, instead of on the bottom. Thanks for a great, healthy recipe!

What a tasty chicken dish, the only thing I did was make chicken parcels for 3 instead of 1. Very easy to put together and low fat to boot, thanks Jo.
