Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for the last four. Mix well, cover and let set for at least 15 minutes (can be prepared ahead and refrigerated).
• In a small sauce pan heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of Tabasco. Layer Phyllo and butter using 4 sheets of dough and leaving the top of the last sheet dry.
• Cut crosswise into 2 inch strips. Place 1 teaspoons of the chicken mixture at one end of the strip and fold one corner diagonally over the filling and continue folding to make a triangle. Continue with the rest of the dough and chicken mixture. Brush the packets with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake in a 425 degree farenheit oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Stir in the mustard, cream cheese, whipping cream and cooked chicken; mix well until combined.
• Layer 5 sheets of phyllo pastry together brushing each sheet with melted butter (keep the unused pastry covered with a barely-damp clean dish towel at all times to prevent drying out).
• Slice the pastry in half to form two squares then cut again to form four squares.
• Spoon one-forth of the filling onto the end of each square; roll once and tuck the ends in and roll up.

• Place packets on cookie sheet, brush tops with remaining garlic butter & sprinkle with Parmesan.
• Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium Dutch oven or large saucepan, skin-sides down. Cover with broth and 2 cups water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool about 30 minutes. Strain broth, discarding solids (you should have about 3 1/2 cups).
• Remove chicken from bones and shred meat into bite-size chunks. Discard skin and bones. You'll need 2 1/2 cups chicken; save the rest for salads or sandwiches.
• Wash and dry Dutch oven or saucepan; melt butter in it over medium-high heat. Add leeks, carrots, celery, potato, 1 teaspoon salt, and some pepper. Cook, stirring, until leeks are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add vermouth; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Stir in flour; cook 20 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in 2 3/4 cups broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until potato is just barely tender, about 5 minutes (mixture will look very thick; that's okay, as the vegetables will release liquid in the oven).
• Stir in chicken, peas, artichokes, and chopped tarragon. Season to taste; transfer to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish (such as a 9 1/2-to-10-by-2-inch-deep round one) and let cool 30 minutes, or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a sheet of phyllo lightly with melted butter. Scrunch into a loose ball and place on filling. Repeat with more sheets brushed with butter, covering the filling but leaving a bit of space between pieces. Bake until golden brown and bubbling in center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving, garnished with tarragon sprig.

Steps:

• Make sauce by combining green onions, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic cloves and tarragon. Set aside.
• Brush one sheet of phyllo with butter.
• Place one chicken breast in one corner.
• Spoon on the sauce.
• Top with slice of cheese.
• Roll over the phyllo sheet placing the fold inside.
• Brush with melted butter.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 1 hour in a preheated 350°F oven.
• Tip: Notes Remove phyllo from freezer night before. When ready to prepare, take out 6 sheets and return package of phyllo to freezer. Place you phyllo between damp sheets of paper towels. Cover with tea towel to keep them damp, otherwise they will dry up and become brittle.
