Phyllo Chicken Pie
Ingredients
- 8 sheets frozen phyllo dough
- 1 lemon, for zest/juice
- ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- ½ Deli rotisserie (or cooked) chicken, about 2 cups
- 1 package frozen creamed spinach (9–11 oz)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 oz crumbled garlic/herb feta cheese
Prep
- Remove phyllo from freezer; thaw for 1 hour (or overnight in refrigerator).

Steps
- Microwave spinach on HIGH for 2–3 minutes or until thawed. Microwave butter on HIGH for 20–30 seconds or until melted.
- Coat 9-inch square baking dish lightly with melted butter. Place one phyllo sheet in dish, over-hanging one side of the dish by about 6 inches; brush lightly with butter. Repeat on remaining 3 sides of dish (layers will overlap and fully cover bottom of dish); then repeat with a second layer on all four sides.
- Combine remaining ingredients; spread mixture evenly over phyllo. Fold each side of dough over filling and brush each with butter. (Layers may overlap or not meet on top; either way is fine.) Bake 20–25 minutes or until golden. Let stand 4–5 minutes. Serve. (Makes 6 servings.)
