This looks different - was in local newspaper today. I bet you could add some peas and cooked cut up potatoes if you just increased the mayonaise.
HOT CHICKEN-SALAD POTPIE
Filling:
2 cups (2 breasts) cooked chicken, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces
2 cups (about 5 stalks) finely chopped celery
1/2 cup (2 ozs.) toasted slivered almonds
1 Tbsp. grated onion
2 Tbsps. lemon juice
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 cup mayonnaise
Topping:
6 phyllo pastry sheets (about 17- by 13-inches), defrosted
3 Tbsps. unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp. salt
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Have ready a 9-by-2-inch round baking dish or glass pie dish.
In a large bowl and using a large spoon, mix the filling ingredients together just to distribute them evenly and coat the chicken pieces with mayonnaise. Spoon the filling into the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
To make the topping, lay out 6 phyllo pastry sheets in a stack. Immediately cover the cut sheets of phyllo completely with plastic wrap and a damp dish towel. Use plastic wrap to roll up and tightly rewrap any leftover phyllo and refrigerate it for up to 1 week.
Spread 1 sheet of phyllo on the counter and use a pastry brush to brush it lightly with butter, then sprinkle it lightly with salt.
Crumple it up lightly (like a piece of newspaper) into a loose ball and place it on the filling. If any phyllo breaks off, just put it back on the ball of pastry.
Repeat with the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo, arranging them to cover the filling. You will have 6 bundles of phyllo covering the filling.
Bake the potpie just until the phyllo topping is golden and the filling is hot, about 15 minutes. This filling bakes for a short time, so that the celery in the filling remains crisp. Use a spoon to serve the filling with a phyllo bundle for each serving. Serves 6.
