DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, combine the onions, mayonnaise, lemon juice, 2 garlic cloves and tarragon; set aside. in another small bowl, combine the butter and remaining garlic.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface with a short edge facing you. Brush with 2 teaspoons butter mixture; brush to distribute evenly. Repeat with one more sheet of phyllo, brushing with another 2 teaspoons of butter mixture (Keep remaining phyllo dough covered with plastic wrap to avoid drying out).
Lightly sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Center one chicken breast on the lower third of phyllo. Spread about 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise mixture over chicken breast. Fold bottom edge over chicken, then fold in sides. Roll up jelly-roll style; cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Make five more chicken packets.
Place packets in an ungreased 15-in.x 10-in.x 1-in. baking pan. Brush tops with remaining garlic butter; sprinkle with cheese. Bake uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees F. Serve warm.

This is outstanding, once you have mastered the phyllo dough, it is very easy and elegant. I no longer try to brush the butter on, I just put the butter on a dinner-sized plate and plunge my open hands onto the butter then gently but quickly pat it all over the phyllo sheet. Guests are very impressed. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

This was yummy, kinda reminded me of a fancy chicken pot pie. I've made this twice. The first time I followed the recipe exact and the second I did make a modification that I think lowers the calorie intake quite a bit. Instead of butter to brush on the phyllo, I used fat free butter flavored baking/cooking spray. The result was just as good. It was light flaky and still had a slight butter taste to it that wasn't over powering. PLUS it didn't look or taste greasy! Another bonus was that it was soooo easy to spray on instead of trying to brush on. This cut the time it took to put together considerably.

So yummy! I made one minor change when I prepared this. I diced the chicken before rolling the packets so we were able to eat them with forks. We've decided that when we make these again, which we definitely will, that we might cook them on a broiler pan as they end up cooking in too much oil/butter for our taste. They were really good though and definitely something I'll make again. This dish is impressive enough to cook for guests. One tip....to make spreading the butter faster, I used a rubber scraper/spatula to spread the butter instead of a basting brush. It was faster so the phyllo sheets didn't have time to dry out while I made the packets.

This was marvelous. I made it for a Christmas day brunch and it was such a hit. Following the tips of some other users, I used butter spray on the phyllo layers instead of spreading butter. Time saver, coated beautifully, and lightened up on the greasiness. I also substituted the onions (which I don't care for) with fresh chopped dill (as per the directions of another reviewer). The combination of the dill, lemon, and mayo was so beautiful and I got endless comments. Next time, I will try cooking it on a rack to keep the phyllo from getting soggy on the bottom. In any case, this was truly delicious

Excellent!!! Very elegant looking and so easy to do. I forgot to season the chicken but didn't even miss it because we found the mayonnaise mixture tasty enough. I was worried it wouldn't cook the chicken breast in the time stated but it did, very moist and tender. Thanks for posting this fantastic recipe!

Substituted pie crust for the phyllo and fresh basil for the tarragon. Came out great and will do again.

I give it 5 stars, my husband says 4..., I didn't have tarragon so I just seasoned it with pepper and some seasoning salt. I added chopped up mushrooms and cheddar cheese to the mixture. I also cut up the chicken into small pieces and used butter flavored cooking spray. Very simple and delicious!!! Definitely will make again!

Good recipe. A little dry, but I used fat free yogurt instead of mayo and spray olive oil instead of butter. I would also use more tarragon and more garlic. Red onions worked well instead of green.
