CHICKEN AND WILD RICE STRUDEL
Yield: 6 servings
1 (8.8-ounce) package ready-to-serve long grain and
Note: If you do not have Italian seasoning, use a pinch each of dried basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, cilantro, thyme and savory.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together rice, chicken, cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface (keeping the other sheets covered with a damp paper towel); brush lightly with melted butter. Layer with five additional sheets, brushing each layer with butter.
Spoon half of the rice mixture all over the top layer, spreading it to within 1 inch of the ends. Fold the uncovered ends of the short sides over on top of the filling. Roll tightly, beginning with a long side. Place on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush with additional butter.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.
