Description

This Phyllo Chicken Potpie reimagines a traditional comfort dish by swapping heavy pastry for delicate, buttery phyllo dough. The filling is a hearty mix of tender chicken breasts, diced potatoes, carrots, and onions simmered in a lightened chicken broth. Instead of a heavy cream sauce, this recipe uses a flour-thickened broth and a touch of fat-free sour cream for richness without the excess calories. The result is a meal that feels indulgent with its golden, flaky crust and bubbling savory interior, yet remains surprisingly light. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch, it brings home-style warmth to your table. Serve it alongside a simple green salad for a complete, balanced meal that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Spray a 2-quart deep casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch pieces. Dice 1 small onion, slice 2 medium carrots into 1/4-inch rounds, and cut 1 large baking potato into 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add chicken and onion; cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink.
  4. Add potatoes, carrots, 1/2 cup chicken broth, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
  5. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk remaining chicken broth with flour until smooth. Pour into the skillet, stirring constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in fat-free sour cream. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
  8. On a work surface, layer 6 sheets of thawed phyllo dough, brushing each layer with melted butter.
  9. Carefully transfer the phyllo layers into the prepared casserole dish, pressing gently to fit.
  10. Pour the chicken and vegetable filling over the phyllo base.
  11. Fold the edges of the phyllo dough over the filling. Brush the top with the remaining melted butter.
  12. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the phyllo is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
