Mix together green onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, 2 cloves of the garlic and tarragon and set aside. Combine remaining garlic with the butter.

Place one sheet of the filo dough on a board and brush it with about 2 t. garlic butter. Arrange a second sheet on top and brush it with another 2 t. garlic butter. Lightly sprinkle a chicken piece with salt and pepper, spread one side with the mayonnaise mixture. Turn over one corner of the filo and top with more mayonnaise mixture.
