Ingredients:
– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
– 1 cup carrots, diced
– 1 cup peas
– 1 cup celery, diced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 tablespoons butter
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 sheets phyllo dough
– 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and peas. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the shredded chicken, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the creamy mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Remove from heat.
6. Layer 4 sheets of phyllo dough on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter before adding the next.
7. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling over the phyllo layers, spreading it out evenly.
8. Layer the remaining 4 sheets of phyllo dough on top of the filling, again brushing each sheet with melted butter.
9. Tuck in any overhanging edges of the phyllo dough and crimp the edges to seal the pot pie.
10. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top layer of phyllo to allow steam to escape during baking.
11. Bake the Chicken Pot Pie With Phyllo in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
12. Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the aroma and dig into the deliciousness of this comforting dish!
