Note

Keep unused phyllo dough covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out while working.

For extra flavor, add a thin layer of spinach or feta cheese inside the wrap before rolling.

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

Serve immediately for the crispiest phyllo texture.
