Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
2 chicken breasts
3 garlic cloves, crushed
500 g fresh spinach
3 eggs, beaten
200 g feta cheese, crumbled
1 whole nutmeg, grated
4 sheets phyllo pastry
75 g butter (approximately)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and chicken and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Over a medium heat, add the garlic and then half the spinach. Continue to stir. When that half is wilted, add the second half. Once this is cooked through, place in a colander or sieve over a bowl and allow to cool. Discard any liquid that drains off.
  • Once cool, place in a bowl and mix through the eggs, feta and nutmeg and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pre-heat over to 200C/180C if fan assisted. Melt the butter.
  • Take a circular oven-proof dish or springform tin, approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter. Lay one sheet of filo across the dish, so that one side and the base is covered, and the rest hangs over the other side. Brush well with melted butter, then lay another sheet of filo in a similar way, at ninety degrees to the first. Repeat with the other two, so that there's an overhang in each of four directions. This will be used to cover the filling.
  • Place the filling in the dish, on top of the pastry. Bring one of the ends of the pastry over the filling. Brush with butter, fold another over and repeat until all four ends are covering the top of the pie. Brush the top with butter and pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes before serving, to prevent it breaking up.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon greek oregano
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup ricotta cheese
2 cups frozen spinach, thawed, chopped
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup green onion, chopped
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 package phyllo dough
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup red onion, diced
½ cup kalamata olive, chopped
1 cup tomato, diced

Steps:

  • Season the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, garlic, greek oregano, and olive oil.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a large skillet on medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Cook until the first side is a dark golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until equally brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and cook the chicken until it's cooked through about 10 more minutes. Set the chicken aside to cool and then slice it.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • To a bowl, add the ricotta, chopped frozen spinach, feta cheese, chopped green onion, beaten eggs, dill, and pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Place the butter into a large shallow dish. Take about 5 sheets of the thin phyllo dough and dip it in the butter.
  • Place the buttered phyllo into a 9 inch (23 cm) springform pan. Make sure the dough complete covers the sides and hangs over the edges of the pan. Use as many sheets as needed to create a even layer all around.
  • Spread half of the feta spinach mixture on the bottom of the springform pan on top of the phyllo dough. Shingle one layer of the sliced cooked chicken, and spread the other half of the spinach feta mixture. Make sure each layer is tightly pressed.
  • Place the chopped tomatoes on the outer rim of the pie. Place a ring of chopped red onion, and then place chopped kalamata olives in the center.
  • Fold the phyllo dough from the edges of the pan to the center and cover the top of the pie with 3 more batches of buttered phyllo.
  • Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the aluminum foil cover and cook for about 20 more minutes, until the top is golden brown.
  • Let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
