Diane Ward of Calgary likes to garnish with both a sprinkle and sprig of fresh thyme. A spinach salad is her preferred side dish.

Ingredients

  • 12 sheets phyllo pastry
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted (approx)
  • 6 oz extra-old white cheddar cheese, cut into 6 slices
  • Caramelized Vegetables:
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 sweet red peppers, thinly sliced
  • 4 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Chicken:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Preparation

Caramelized Vegetables: In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry red peppers until beginning to soften, about 10 minutes. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper; fry until tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Set aside.

Chicken: Between plastic wrap and using meat pounder, pound chicken to 1/2-inch (1 cm) thickness. In bowl, combine vinegar, garlic and salt ; add chicken and turn to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Place chicken on greased grill over medium heat; brush with remaining vinegar mixture. Close lid and grill, turning once, until no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes. Slice into 1/2-inch (1 cm) wide strips; set aside.

Place 1 sheet of phyllo on work surface, covering remainder with damp towel to prevent drying out. Brush with butter; top with second sheet. Place one-sixth of the chicken about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from edge of short end. Top with one-sixth of the vegetables and 1 slice of cheese. Fold in sides and roll up. Place on parchment paper–lined rimmed baking sheet; brush with butter. Repeat with remaining ingredients, adding more butter if necessary. (Make-ahead: Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven until phyllo is crisp and golden brown, about 20 minutes. With serrated knife, cut each diagonally in half.
