For pesto:  Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened
on all sides. Wrap in a paper bag and let stand 10 minutes. Peel and
seed peppers. Grind roasted peppers, spinach, cheese, pine nuts,
garlic and chipotle chilies in a food processor. With processor
running, add oil; process until blended. Season with salt and pepper.
For garlic sauce: Bring broth and whipping cream to a boil in a small
saucepan. Add garlic and basil; simmer until sauce thickens slightly,
about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. ( Pesto and garlic
sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Press plastic onto surface of presto;
refrigerate. Cover sauce; refrigerate.) For chicken:  Preheat oven to
parallel to edge of work surface (cover remaining phyllo with plastic
wrap and damp towel.) Brush phyllo lightly with melted butter. Fold  in
half crosswise like a book. Brush with melted butter. Place 1  chicken
breast so that 1 long side is 2" from bottom of phyllo,  centering
between sides of phyllo.  Season chicken with salt and  epper. Spoon 1
generous tablespoon of pesto over chicken. Sprinkle  with 1/4 cup
cheese. Fold bottom of phyllo over chicken. Fold short  sides of phyllo
over chicken.  Roll up jelly roll style. Place seam  side down on large
baking sheet.  Brush with melted butter. Repeat  with remaining phyllo,
chicken, pesto & cheese; refrigerate remaining  pesto for another use.
Bake until chicken is cooked through and  phyllo is golden, about 25
minutes. Transfer to plates. Bring garlic  sauce to a simmer. Spoon
sauce onto each dinner plate, reserving some  for a gravy boat type
dish.  Place chicken in center of garlic sauce.  Garnish with fresh
whole basil leaves. Posted to EAT-L Digest 01 Sep  Date:    Mon, 2 Sep
