Directions
Oh My, Chicken Pie!, A yummy filling of chicken, mushrooms, spinach, bacon and cheeses, layered between buttery-crisp sheets of phyllo This recipe will make one 15 x 9 inch pan, which will serve 10-12 happy people, or two 8 x 8 inch pans, so you can bake one, and freeze the other (unbaked) to enjoy at a later date when time is short and good food is a must! All your meat and veg in one tasty packet Developed for RSC #6 , After all these years this is still one of the best things I’ve ever eaten We only make it once every few years because it’s so decadent and special , Oh My Yummy Pie! This was fabulous It took me way longer than 40 minutes to prep it, but it was well worth it It probably took me that long to layer the phyllo I prepared as written other than leaving out the portabella mushrooms due to personal preference I opted for gouda cheese I made two smaller pans The smaller pan was definitely done in 45 – 50 minutes Thanks so much for sharing your creation!

Over Medium-High Heat, Saute Onion in Olive Oil in Large Frying Pan, Stirring Occasionally, For About 15-17 Minutes, or Until Starting to Turn Golden and Caramelize; Add Chopped Mushrooms and Saut, Stirring Occasionally, For 8-10 Minutes, or Until Any Liquid Released by the Mushrooms Has Evaporated; Add Garlic and Bacon and Continue Sauting For Another 5 Minutes; Remove from Heat and Add to Chicken/Spinach Mixture in Bowl; Allow to Cool For About 5 Minutes, Then Stir in Heavy Cream, Cheeses and Eggs, Stirring to Distribute Evenly; Check Seasoning and Season to Taste (it Probably Wont Need Much Salt Because of the Cheeses, but Lots of Freshly-Ground Pepper Will Be Great!). |

Butter Your One Large Pan (or Two Smaller Ones If You Are Making 2 Pies, Separate the Phyllo Into 2 Equal Parts and Cover Each With a Dampened Kitchen Towel); Start Staggering Your Sheets of Phyllo Into the Pan, and Buttering Each One Generously; When Half the Sheets Have Been Used, Spoon in the Chicken/Vegetable Filling; Cover Filling With Remaining Phyllo Sheets, Buttering Each One Generously as It Is Added; Fold in Edges, Tucking Them in to Make an Attractive Finish, and Butter Top Layer Generously, Using Up Remainder of Butter. |

Score Top of Pastry Lengthwise Into 4 Sections With a Small, Sharp Knife, Making Sure not to Cut All the Way Through (do not Cut Through Pastry on Bottom Layer) These Will Facilitate Cutting Pieces When Pie Is Baked and Will Also Serve as Steam Vents; Sprinkle Some Cold Water Generously Over the Pie (i Shake the Water Off My Fingers, About 3 Runs Under the Tap and Shaken All Over the Pastry) and Pop the Pie Into the Oven. |

Bake For 50-60 Minutes, or Until the Pie Is a Rich Golden-Brown For the Last 20 Minutes of Baking, Slip the Pan Directly Onto the Floor of the Oven to Brown and Crisp the Bottom Phyllo Sheets (if You Are Baking the Frozen Pie, Put It in the Oven Frozen, Tack on Another 10-15 Minutes Baking - If Phyllo Is Getting Too Brown, Tent With Foil). |
