Chicken Triangles

Another tasty treat from HH...
NEED:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, remove all visible fat
1/2 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
10 sheets phyllo pastry
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
Finely chop chicken. Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, parsley, basil and salt in a small bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Lightly brush a sheet of phyllo dough with melted margarine. Stack a second sheet on top. Cut the two-layered sheet into 5 short strips, crosswise with scissors. Place a teaspoon of chicken filling on a two-layer strip, 1 inch away from the bottom. Fold corners across the filling and continue folding , corner to corner ( like a flag is folded!!) The filling expands during cooking, so don't fold the dough too tightly. Tuck excess dough under the triangle, then place on a baking sheet. Lightly brush triangles with melted margarine.
Oven at 400 degrees. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
