Italian chicken in phyllo dough is a recipe that features chicken wrapped in phyllo dough and then baked. The phyllo dough helps to keep the chicken moist and tender, while the baking process helps to brown and crisp the exterior of the chicken. This dish can be served as an entree or appetizer, and is often accompanied by a dipping sauce.
