Ingredients:


1/4 cup pine nuts

1 spray butter-flavored cooking spray

4 whole skinned and boned chicken breast halves -- chopped

1/2 cup diced purple onions

2 cloves garlic -- pressed

1 tablespoon olive oil

11 ounces fresh goat cheese -- cubed

2 1/4 ounces ripe olives sliced , drained

1/2 cup halved dried tomatoes in oil, drained and cut into thin strips

1 teaspoon dried basil

16 sheets frozen phyllo pastry -- thawed
 

Preparation / Directions:


Saute pine nuts in a skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes or until toasted. Remove from skillet. Saute chicken, onion, and garlic in hot oil 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from heat; cool. Stir in pine nuts, goat cheese, and next 3 ingredients. Set aside. Unfold phyllo, and cover with a damp towel to prevent pastry from drying out. Stack 8 phyllo sheets on a flat surface covered with wax paper, coating each sheet with cooking spray. Spoon half of filling lengthwise down half of phyllo stack, spreading to within 2 inches of edges. Fold in short edges 2 inches. Roll phyllo up, starting at long edge nearest filling. Place, seam side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut 1/4-inch deep diagonal slits, 1 inch apart, across top. Coat strudel with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Cut diagonally into 3- to 4-inch pieces and serve immediately.
