    Pardon my amateur attempt at writing a recipe lol

    NOTE: This recipe makes two whole pies. I make one immediately, then save the rest of the filling for either the next day, or put it in a ziploc bag & freeze it for a future ready to go meal. I’ve never frozen a whole prepared pie (with the bottom crust and phyllo) but it would probably freeze fine.

    Ingredients:

    1 cup diced carrots – I like to make them chunky cuts

    1 cup diced potatoes (cooked)

    1/2 cup diced onions

    1 cup diced celery

    1 cup diced or shredded chicken

    1 can of peas or 1 small frozen bag

    2 cups of chicken broth

    1/3 cup butter

    1 cup milk

    2 tablespoons flour

    Salt & pepper

    1-2 pie crusts (1 crust if you plan on freezing the other half of the filling)

    ~ 10-20 sheets phyllo dough (10 sheets if you plan on freezing the other half of the filling)

    Optional: 1 cup corn

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    In a large pan, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery with butter for about 10 minutes. Stir in flour & wet it with the sautéed veggies. Add the diced potatoes, peas, and corn (optional). Pour the chicken broth & milk on top. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir it all together & let it come to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer to thicken. Then turn off the stove & allow to partially cool to thicken a little more.

    While I’m letting it cool, in a separate pan I cook my diced chicken, seasoned with a little salt (probably unnecessary bcs you’re salting the filling). Add the chicken to the filling and stir everything together.

    Lay your pie crust down and up the sides of a baking dish – I like a rectangular glass dish because it makes for more crust when serving 🙂 Pour the filling in to about 1/4” from the top of the dish. Lay the phyllo on top, piece by piece, brushing melted butter on every 1-2 layers. Bake uncovered for 40-50 mins at 350 degrees.

    You can pre-slice the phyllo before putting it in the oven, for easier (read: less messy) slicing when it’s done.

    I’m making this tonight! Need to get as many “winter” meals in this week as I can. We’re already hitting 90 in Phoenix 🏜️ oven is out of the question once we hit 100 for the summer

    I’m still looking for a decent pie crust recipe that doesn’t use a metric fuckton of butter
