How to Make Lightened Chicken Pot Pie With Phyllo Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Add 2 cups diced potatoes, 1 cup diced onion, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 cup diced celery, 1/2 cup diced carrots, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the flour is lightly browned.
  5. Stir in 2 cups milk and 1 cup chicken broth. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  7. Add 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken, 1/2 cup frozen peas, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Spoon the chicken mixture into a 2-quart baking dish.
  9. Lightly spray a large work surface with cooking spray. Lay one phyllo sheet on the surface and lightly spray with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, layering them and spraying each sheet.
  10. Loosely drape the phyllo layers over the chicken mixture in the baking dish, allowing some overhang.
  11. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo crust is golden brown and crispy.
