 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            Chicken -- cooked, fine chop
    1/2   c            Monterey jack cheese -- shred
  2       tb           Green onions -- chopped
  1       ts           Dried parsley flakes
  6                    Frozen phyllo sheets -- thawed
                       - (18x14" sheets)
    1/3   c            Margarine -- melted
  3       ts           Sesame seeds

 Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, combine chicken, cheese,
 onions, and parsley flakes; mix well. Unroll phyllo sheets; cover
 with plastic wrap or wet paper towels. Place 1 sheet on cutting
 board with 14" side closest to you; brush with margarine. Cut into
 six 18" long strips. Place 1 ts filling at end of each strip. Fold
 right corner diagonally up over filling so that bottom edge of
 strip lines up with left side of strip. Continue folding to end of
 strip into a triangular bundle, as if folding a flag. Tuck under
 any remaining phyllo at end of bundle. Place, seam side down, on
 ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken mix and
 phyllo sheets. Brush tops with remaining melted margarine; sprinkle
 with sesame seeds. Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until golden
 brown. Serve warm.

 NOTE: To make ahead, prepare bundles; place on cookie sheet and
 cover with lightly dampened cloth towels and plastic wrap.
 Refrigerate up to 24 hours. Uncover and bake as directed.

 FREEZER: Make and do not brush tops with margarine; place in
 container, separating layers with waxed paper. Cover tightly. To
 bake frozen bundles, brush with margarine; sprinkle with sesame
 seeds. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until light golden
 brown.
