Ingredients

2 lb chicken breast
2 cup water
5 tbsp unsalted butter
2 red onions
2 cloves garlic
3 tbsp unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp dill
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 oz feta cheese
1 egg
12 sheets filo dough

Steps

Place the chicken and water in a covered 3-quart saucepan, bring to a simmer, and cook for 25 minutes until it reaches 165 F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, cool it for 10 minutes, and shred it.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet, cook the onions and garlic for 8 minutes, then stir in the flour.
Whisk in the milk and cook for 5 minutes until thick, then stir in the dill, salt, pepper, nutmeg, shredded chicken, feta, and egg.
Heat the oven to 350 F, brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter, and layer 6 filo sheets with butter between them.
Spread in the filling, cover with the remaining filo sheets brushed with butter, and bake for 45 minutes until golden.
Rest the pie for 7 minutes before cutting.
