Why have i not seen this before?!!?!?! i tried another version of kotopita with leek and the guy used puff pastry!! it was a lot harder than this one. i love your videos because they are so accurate!!! love you!!!
That looks amazing! I have some Phyllo dough in my freezer and have been wondering what to make with it. The vegetables I would use would be mushrooms, leeks, and some artichokes. Love your cooking videos. ❤
I just spent some time in Greece and this was my favorite pie. I would go to my local coffee shop to pick up my piece of chicken pie every morning. It was a thinner pie which is what you mentioned. I wonder if just using a longer baking sheet will do the trick. So glad I found your recipe because I wasnt sure how to re-create once I was back home
I’m first generation Greek. I’m old now but I sure do miss the food I grew up with. Always been afraid to cook them but I sure do hunger for them, especially spanakopita. You give me courage to at least try. Wish I could eat with y’all each night. Efharisto poli. S’agapo. Stratis.
One of my favorite Greek dishes. I've never made it myself because the coffee shop down the street here in Nea Smyrni sells an amazing kotopita. Will definitely try your recipe though!
I made this on a sheet pan and it turned out great. I did the top the same as for Spanakopita folding some phyllo sheets on top. It was beautiful. I was proud of it but hubby and kids didn't remark on my beautiful presentation LOL
Mushrooms, carrots , celery, onion. If im in a hurry frozen peas and carrots. No Gouda or parma. Just feta and bechemel. Ill try it with parma, but ill put that in the bechemel. Thanks always for sharing!!! I love your cooking.
Thank You 💖👍🏼! Love Greek food as my Besties from college are of Greek origin! We cooked Spanakopita in the traditional way, for one of my Milestone BD’s organized by my Besties, and from there every re-union going to repeat it! One of my most favorites! My friend was shocked that I made less than in one hour by my self! Thank you for the idea ! So could use the rest of the philo for a chicken pot pie or do yours! Great Party Dish !!! I was born in Sri Lanka ! We have mini chicken pies for tea! So miss them now!
I made this and it was absolutely the best thing ever! I just used cooked chicken thighs I had on hand and EVERYONE LOVED IT!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Made this tonight ... it turned out incredible... I followed the recipe, used mozzarella instead of Gouda ... everyone loved it.. will definitely make it again... Have a picture of it but can’t figure out how to post it.. lol ... Thanks Dimitra !!
Thank you for this amazing recipe! I have made it twice already and it's a popular dish in my house and among friends. Trying it out tomorrow with mushrooms instead of red peppers and mozzarella instead of gouda. Hope it's as good.
All the recipes I've been watching it so amazing delicious looking forward to try to make them 3 recipes with spinach peanut butter spinach is a fine even this chicken run chicken pies good to love them all all through this business so delicious and yummy yummy
You cook and bake from your soul. Everything you do looks so good. I love chicken pot pie and I have never seen it done this way For sure I will do this and maybe find a husband.
If you dont mind you can cut your cooking time in half if you cook your chicken on a rack inside a pan at 470f that whole chicken will be done in about 50 minutes. Any temp lower than 470f is baking. Season your chicken the same way and preheat the oven and you will be all set. PS hint hint bechamel is fat flour and milk when you add cheese to it, it becomes a Mournay sauce whether you choose to use the white wine or not. Just thought I would let you know so no one makes negative comments and say mean things. Love your channel!❤
Yummy...my mom would make it when she had extra chicken, though never used cumin, only used cumin when making soutzoukakia. I'm gonna try your recipe! Thanks
Phyllo dough can be kept moist by covering with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. One could lightly brush the phyllo dough on every sheet. The love is in the attention to detail with the phyllo and butter. I just wouldn’t cut until it is cooled down after baking.
I've been thinking about making a chicken or turkey pot pie using phyllo ...obviously a good idea! I will try this method, for sure. Thanks for sharing, Dimitra.
Thank you!!! I've been trying your recipes for a while now and they turn out well. I like the way you demonstrate, very clear, and easy to follow. Please continue, I want to know the name of that seasoning you used in one of your recipes. It was red in color and you mentioned that it was very tangy. Tried to find the recipe but forgot the name, it got chicken on it. Every time I dished out a greek or dishes with phyllo your name is synonymy to it here in our house hold.
This looks amazing! I am considering this for a main dish on our year end function menu. Would you consider it excessive to butter each phyllo layer? You do it so easily by just drizzling butter over a few layers at a time.
That's similiar to the börek we make here in Turkey. Ingredients may vary but the thin layer of dough (which we call "yufka") is the main component. The sprinkle of butter and sesame seeds, the wrapping and the cooking in the oven is definitely the same. There is not much to say that Turkey and Greece have a common background. Cheers :)
Yes! You can freeze it once it is assembled. Wrap in plastic. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and remove the plastic. Bake as per the recipe’s instructions. It keeps fresh in the freezer for 2 months.
Another hit girl!!! I've made the spinach pie twice now !!! This is next, think I will do carrots/celery/pees fir a pot our twist!!; Totally dig how you encourage too experiment. You make it easy with a solid foundation. Oh btw on your lasasgna sause worded out to be a kick ass Alfredo sause!!! Leaning and living it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Dimitra, can I use puff pastry sheets for the base? Saw comments below saying some turned out soggy. Also, how many cups of bechamel sauce do you get from your recipe. I am going to use store bought sauce.
I want to ask how you get the bottom crispy of these sorts of pies (tiropita,spanakopita,kotopita etc) Mine always turn out soggy at the bottom. Please let me know. Greetings from Holland. Ps: I love your videos!
I wonder if we could do the sumic and chicken. Use the oil from the onions instead of butter. Do you think it would hold together. My daughter made the chicken onion on pita but id much rather have phyllo and with out having to roll each one up when we do them for a crowd.
In Greece they make it with a homemade, very thin dough made of flour, water and olive oil. Let me know how it turns out if you make it with a different dough. Maybe it would be a good idea to make a half batch just to test it..
I can't stop watching your videos.
I love Greek food ❤I used to live in Greece
It brings back memories and is my second home.
Made it with carrots and peas added. Awsome! More like pot pie.thanks for the garlic tip!!!
Oh my😍 I also use that sour cherry jam glass jar for storing spices 😊
I actually made your recipe...it took a long time to put this all together...but I followed it step by step and it is delicious...

Looks simply delicious definitely will give this a try thanks 👍
Γεια σου Δημητρουλα και παλι, ειδα τη συνταγη με την πεντανοστιμη κοτοπιτα σου. Χαιρομαι να σε βλεπω που μαγειρευεις.
Thank you so much for sharing your yummy recipe. I never know how to use phyllo in the first place.
I love you recipes thank much
Glad you like them!
Excellent!!!!!
Unbelievable. You are an artist
Nice recipe very delicious.
I will make this in Fall....great dish for lunch
Very enjoyable watching you
I can't wait to try this recipe. It looks delicious. I am salivating. Now I have to go to the store. Thank you.
Yummy...my mom would make it when she had extra chicken, though never used cumin, only used cumin when making soutzoukakia. I'm gonna try your recipe! Thanks
I know. Cumin is not commonly used in Greek cooking but I love the way it pairs with chicken. Hope you like it too!
Phyllo dough can be kept moist by covering with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. One could lightly brush the phyllo dough on every sheet. The love is in the attention to detail with the phyllo and butter. I just wouldn’t cut until it is cooled down after baking.
Cutting Phyllo after baking causes it to crumble. The top is always cut before baking.
Looks wonderful, and very pretty as well, I so enjoy your Greek Style Cooking. Be Blessed Dimita.
Thanks for sharing good and yaming
I've been thinking about making a chicken or turkey pot pie using phyllo ...obviously a good idea! I will try this method, for sure. Thanks for sharing, Dimitra.
Great way to use up any leftover Thanksgiving turkey :)
Wow,special dish,yummy. ....

I believe you’re thinking about Sumac :)
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing that!!!
This looks amazing! I am considering this for a main dish on our year end function menu. Would you consider it excessive to butter each phyllo layer? You do it so easily by just drizzling butter over a few layers at a time.
Well done we like it
I can't wait to make this.
Nice garlic trick! What part of Greece is your family from, Dimitra? I'm interested as to which regions use which spices.
My family is from the island of Crete.
@@DimitrasDishes Ahhhh! That explains the great food and excellent oil. Bravo sas!
That is mouthwatering, i am definitely making it this weekend.
I am cooking my dinner and watching this video but I wish I was having this for dinner, hopefully i will soon
Instead of thumbs up on this dish I’d give you 5 hearts
Look very good I make tomorrow night for dinner 🥘
Bon Appetit!
Thankyou Dimitra I will be doing this for sure xxx ooo
Hope you enjoy this :)

Would puff pastry work for this??
Beautiful WOW!
delish..ty4sharing.
I love all your recipes but please add metric too,not all us live in USA!
Look good
I’m late but Happy New Year And welcome back🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! It's good to be back. Happy New Year to you too!!

Hi can i freeze this dish ...love your receipes
Yes! You can freeze it once it is assembled. Wrap in plastic. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and remove the plastic. Bake as per the recipe’s instructions. It keeps fresh in the freezer for 2 months.
Another hit girl!!! I've made the spinach pie twice now !!! This is next, think I will do carrots/celery/pees fir a pot our twist!!; Totally dig how you encourage too experiment. You make it easy with a solid foundation. Oh btw on your lasasgna sause worded out to be a kick ass Alfredo sause!!! Leaning and living it❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think I would add some English peas too.....looks great
Υπεροχη✨✨✨✨✨
Rubber spatula is very helpful!
Yummmmmmm
That tip about the garlic is a revelation!
Hi Dimitra, can I use puff pastry sheets for the base? Saw comments below saying some turned out soggy. Also, how many cups of bechamel sauce do you get from your recipe. I am going to use store bought sauce.
I want to ask how you get the bottom crispy of these sorts of pies (tiropita,spanakopita,kotopita etc) Mine always turn out soggy at the bottom. Please let me know. Greetings from Holland. Ps: I love your videos!
Do i use a lb of phylo dough if I make half the amount and use a half size baking pan? How do I safe the left over if I make the full recipe?
I wonder if we could do the sumic and chicken. Use the oil from the onions instead of butter. Do you think it would hold together. My daughter made the chicken onion on pita but id much rather have phyllo and with out having to roll each one up when we do them for a crowd.
That would work perfectly.
Can I do this with left over turkey
Yummy!!!
Yummo x
Hi Dimitra,
That looks great. What weight was the chicken and what size was the baking dish?
Thanks! It's really delicious. The chicken can be anywhere from 4-5 pounds. The baking dish that I used in this episode was a 13 by 9 inch pan.
Thanks. Hope to try this soon.
can i use ground chicken instead of the whole chicken and use the same seasoning and saute it on the stove?
Yes, absolutely!
Id love to do this one but alas im lactose intolerant. I get eat a tiny bit of feta but not a lot
What brand is the large cutting board behind you?
My cutting board:amzn.to/2JHKo3L
Dimitra's Dishes thank you! Keep up the great videos & recipes! Yasou!
istead of phyllo dough could this pie be made with regular all purpose flour dough?🤔
ok thanks
In Greece they make it with a homemade, very thin dough made of flour, water and olive oil. Let me know how it turns out if you make it with a different dough. Maybe it would be a good idea to make a half batch just to test it..
YIASOU DHMHTRA , HOW IS THE NEW HOUSE? ANY WAY I DIDN'T KNOW IN THE BECHAMEL, YOU PUT EGGS IN
