Had to look it up, but it sounds good!

Problem is, I have one those about 300m from where I work!

Looks like a candidate for:

Dazzling Yuletide Chicken
Ingredients:
4 - 5 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Freshly ground pepper
5 ounces semisoft cheese with French onions, garlic and herb or garden vegetables
8 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1/3 cup butter, melted
Hot cooked wild rice (optional)

Directions:
1. Rinse chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Place each chicken breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound lightly until about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with pepper.

2. Divide the cheese into 4 equal pieces; form into balls. Place a cheese ball in the center of each piece of chicken. Fold in the sides and roll the pieces up, jelly-roll style.

3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Evenly stack 8 phyllo dough sheets on a work surface. (Cover and return the remaining phyllo to your freezer.) With a sharp knife, cut the phyllo stack into 12-inch squares; discard trimmings.

4. Generously brush one square with butter. Place another square on top; brush with butter. Keep the remaining 6 squares of phyllo covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.

5. Place a chicken breast, seam side down, on the buttered stack. Gather up the phyllo to form a bundle, twisting top slightly to hold it together. With a spatula, transfer to a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo squares and chicken breasts.

6. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until phyllo is golden. Serve with hot cooked wild rice, if you like.

Looks like a nice recipe to add to my recipe ebook... With a few changes, I think I'll make this for Christmas! (I'm going to make lots and lots and lots of fingerfoods! which will be one change: using a different kind of dough and smaller sizes...)

Edit: oh, what are French onions?

French onion soup style. It's a popular flavour of premixed cream cheese here, it may be called something different where you live (if it's available). I usualy made my own. It's onions slowly caramelized with thyme. Deglaze pan with a little red wine.

Ok, so that's part of the cheese bit. I'll see what I can whip together...
