How to Make Greek Phyllo Wrapped Chicken

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mash together 4 ounces (113g) feta cheese, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 clove minced garlic.
Stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Butterfly each chicken breast: Using a sharp knife, cut almost all the way through the thickest part of each breast, creating a pocket.
Open each chicken breast like a book.
Spread the feta mixture evenly over one half of each chicken breast.
Fold the other half of the breast over the filling to enclose.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Keep the remaining phyllo covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
Brush the phyllo lightly with melted butter (about 1 teaspoon).
Top with a second sheet of phyllo and brush with butter again.
Place one stuffed chicken breast in the center of the phyllo, about 2 inches from the short edge.
Fold the long sides of the phyllo over the chicken, then tightly roll up from the short edge.
Repeat steps 8-12 with the remaining chicken breasts and phyllo sheets.
Place the phyllo-wrapped chicken in a lightly greased baking dish.
Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
