Select 24 (2-inch long) salad peppers; set others aside for garnish.

Remove and discard stems and seeds from peppers; drain thoroughly on

paper towels.

Stuff each pepper with 1 piece Monterey Jack cheese and 1 piece chicken; set aside.

Spray both sides of phyllo sheets with cooking spray; stack. Cut stacked phyllo in half lengthwise and then crosswise.

Place 1 pepper on each phyllo stack, at one long end. Starting with

long end, roll phyllo around pepper. Twist ends to seal. Place on a

baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and stuffed peppers.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Tie twisted

ends of pastry with chives, if desired. Serve immediately.

Yield: 2

dozen.
