I made these for my husband's birthday dinner tonight and they went over very well. I don't like mayonnaise, so after some thought, I decided to substitute cream cheese instead (it needed to be something with a bit of solidity to be the base for the sauce - more butter wouldn't have worked - and since I wasn't sure how well sour cream would bake I decided to go with cream cheese). I also didn't have any tarragon so I used a mix of marjoram and thyme. I also left out the onions as I didn't have any on hand. After reading a bunch of reviews on how to handle phyllo, I didn't have any trouble at all working with it and actually thought it was fun to use! I had to be super careful not the tear the dough, but mine didn't dry out or anything. I made four chicken packets and used less than half of the butter since it brushed on quite easily (with a narrow end of dought in front of me, I worked horizontally back and forth with the butter). I'm definitely going to try working with stuffed phyllo some more and experiment with the sauces. Thanks for a great recipe!
