KOTOPITA: GREEK STYLE CHICKEN IN PHYLLO PIE

Number Of Ingredients 26
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, 200 degrees Celsius.
- Wash the chicken with cold water and pat it dry. Make sure to remove anything that may be inside the cavity.
- Pour the olive oil over the chicken and season both sides with the herbs and spices.
- Cover the chicken with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered 40 additional minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Allow to cool completely.
- In the meantime make the filling by cooking the garlic cloves with the diced onions and oil in a pan for about 15 minutes or until soft.
- Add the diced bell peppers, season with some salt and pepper and cook 5-6 minutes or until they soften and release their juices.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat and set the bones aside to make broth another day.
- Shred the meat or chop it. About 4 cups are needed for this recipe.
- Add the meat and the sautéed pepper mixture to a large bowl and mix well to combine.
- Make the béchamel sauce by combining the olive oil and flour to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat while whisking until it becomes slightly toasted.
- Add the milk, salt. pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk well to combine. Take care to not add too much salt. There will be lots of cheese in the filling which is already salty.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and continue whisking until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and add about a cup of this mixture to the eggs. Whisk to incorporate and to temper them.
- Add the egg mixture to the saucepan and whisk well to combine.
- Pour the béchamel sauce into the mixing bowl with the filling. Add the cheeses and mix well.
- Add some fresh thyme and taste to see if any more salt and pepper is needed.
- I always add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. It's up to you to do the same or to just leave it out.
- Set the filling aside.
- Note: Phyllo dough comes in various thicknesses. The thinner the phyllo, the more sheets will be in a pack. The thicker phyllo will have fewer sheets since it is sold by weight. I usually buy the #4 thickness. Any phyllo will do.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 170 degrees Celsius.
- Remove the phyllo from its packaging. Separate it into 2 equal stacks. One will be for the bottom and the other for the top of the pie. I like to use a little more for the bottom and less for the top. It's a matter of personal preference. The pie will still be delicious either way.
- Brush the baking pan with melted butter.
- Take 2-4 sheets of phyllo and place them at the 12:00 position of the pan (as if you were looking at a clock)placing half in the pan and the other half should hang out of the pan.
- Drizzle some melted butter on top of the phyllo.
- Take 2-4 more phyllo sheets and place them at the 3:00 position of the baking pan, half in half hanging out.
- Drizzle them with some more melted butter.
- Take 2-4 more phyllo sheets and place them down in the bottom of the pan. Drizzle with melted butter.
- Take 2-4 phyllo sheets and place them at the 9:00 position of the baking pan. Drizzle with butter.
- Pour all of the filling onto the pan and cover it with the phyllo that is hanging outside of the pan.
- Drizzle with melted butter.
- Keep taking 2-4 stacks of phyllo and place them in the pan, tucking the edges in really well. Drizzle with melted butter until all of the phyllo runs out.
- Scour the pie into 12 equal pieces and pour the remaining butter all over the pie. Sprinkle thetop with some sesame seeds.
- Bake 45 -60 minutes or until the pie is golden brown on top and the filling is bubbling.
- Sometimes, it can take 1 hour and 15 minutes to be ready.
- Allow the pie at least 20-30 minutes to rest at room temperature so that the filling sets and it will be easy to slice and serve.
- Enjoy!
KOTOPITA
Steps:
- Filling:
- In a medium pot, over medium heat, add the chicken and the olive oil. Stir in the garlic, onion, dill, celery, carrots, salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Sauce:
- In another medium pot bring the milk to a boil over low heat. At the same time, melt the butter in another pan. Add the flour to the butter and mix well on low heat until the flour absorbs all of the butter. Be sure not to burn the butter! When the milk reaches the boiling point, slowly whisk it into the flour mixture until it thickens, removing any lumps. Whisk in the Parmesan and the egg. Remove the sauce from the burner and let it cool for 10 minutes. Set aside and go back to the filling.
- The chicken mixture should be fully cooked by now. Strain the mixture to remove any liquid. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Mix the sauce into the chicken mixture. Add the Parmesan and feta cheese and mix well.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Layer 7 sheets of phyllo dough in the bottom of the dish making sure to lightly brush each 2 sheets with melted butter. Make sure to press the sheets against all sides of the baking dish. Fold the sheets in half, and evenly spread them with the filling. Put another 7 sheets of phyllo, prepared the same way on top of the filling, pressing the dough around the edges of the dish. Lightly brush melted butter on the top layer. Cut through the dough to make 4 squares. Make sure you cut through the bottom layer. Sprinkle a little water on top to keep it from drying out. Put the dish in the oven and bake it until golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes before serving. Most commonly served with salad, but it's a great dish with vegetables or by itself.

NEW YEAR'S DAY GREEK FILO CHICKEN PIE (KOTOPITA)
Steps:
- Place the chicken pieces, onions, olive oil and seasoning in a heavy Dutch oven. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 40 minutes. (Do not add any water, as the chicken and the onions will release their own liquid and will braise nicely.)
- Remove the chicken, let it cool slightly, and then shred it (or chop it up) into small pieces. Set aside in a bowl. Meanwhile, continue to cook the onions for another 30 minutes. When tender, mash them with a fork and add to the chicken. At this point, taste and adjust the seasoning. Let the mixture cool completely.
- Sprinkle the semolina over the mixture and blend well. Add the parsley, fresh dill, eggs, and cream. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
- Start layering a 15"x10"x2" glass or ceramic pan with filo sheets: First, brush some oil on all sides of the pan, then proceed to line with 10 filo sheets, brushing olive oil on each one of them. Without oiling the 10th filo layer, pour the mixture over the stacked filo and arrange equally in the pan. Top with the remaining sheets, brushing each one of them with olive oil. Fold the overhanging filo, back over the top of the chicken pie. With a sharp knife, carefully mark the top few filo sheets in square shapes, so the filo does not crumble when it is cut through.
- Sprinkle some water over the pie and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until filo is lightly golden. Let it cool for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

GREEK CHICKEN IN FILO (KOTOPITA)
Handling Filo Dough: If possible, buy filo that has not been frozen. It can be found in the refrigerator section of most Greek and some Middle Eastern delis. Let the package come to room temperature before opening it. The sheets are easier to work with at room temperature. Remove the sheets you are working with and spray or brush them with oil, butter or non stick cooking spray as quickly as possible. Keep the unused portions covered with a towel or plastic wrap. Work quickly; do not expose reserved sheets to the air or they will dry out and disintegrate. Sprinkle bread crumbs between the layers to keep them from sticking together when they bake; this is particularly helpful if you plan to refrigerate or freeze the recipe before baking. Some cooks work on a lightly dampened towel, but I find it makes the dough soggy.
