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
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!!!
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.
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
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!
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’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.
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.
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!
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 !!
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!❤
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 :)
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
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.
I love Greek food ❤I used to live in Greece
It brings back memories and is my second home.
I can't stop watching your videos.
Made it with carrots and peas added. Awsome! More like pot pie.thanks for the garlic tip!!!
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 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...
Amazing recipe and demonstration....... looks totally delicious! Your the queen of Greek cooking !

I made this tonight with a Sam's Club Roast Chicken, it was DELICIOUS!!!

Your cooking smells so good and I'm here in Australia!
Steven Nicholls Awww...great comment!
I know, right?! It’s wafting up to Western Canada, too! If I cooked as well as Dmitra I would be 300+ pounds...
Oh my😍 I also use that sour cherry jam glass jar for storing spices 😊

Love, love, love your recipes! May God bless u as you share your talent w/ others!
I'm so making this! So happy to have found your RUclips channel! I'm making your spanikopita this weekend too. Thanks for such wonderful recipes!
I love Greek food thank you
Looks delicious! I love kotopita its one of my favorite Greek foods. I like much thinner than here, but the filling looks fantastic!
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.
I made your spanakopita and came out perfect,thanks to your great videos... I will try your Kotopita next...keep your great recipes coming!
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.
I made this tonight, with finley diced carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, rosemary, chicken. I used GHEE clarified butter. Turned out, Amazing ❤
The dish looks wonderful, now I'm hungry ! Happy New Year and best wishes for you and your family!
Show stopping is right❤️ It will be added to my fall menu! I need to make everything you demo❤️
You make me want to bake something new and wonderful every day!

When you served that piece of Kotopita... it was an amazing beautiful piece . Very nice presentation . I for sure will try this. Thank you
Thank you! I had a piece for breakfast every morning! It tastes good even cold :)
Dimitra's Dishes Haaa, bet it was good too. I like cold Spanikopita. Certainly a healthy breakfast👍

I know. Cumin is not commonly used in Greek cooking but I love the way it pairs with chicken. Hope you like it too!
Unbelievable. You are an artist
Looks wonderful, and very pretty as well, I so enjoy your Greek Style Cooking. Be Blessed Dimita.
Υπεροχη✨✨✨✨✨
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.
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!
Look very good I make tomorrow night for dinner 🥘
Bon Appetit!
That is mouthwatering, i am definitely making it this weekend.

Yummy!!!
delish..ty4sharing.
Well done we like it
Look good
Μπράβο
it's still baking. the real challenge is waiting for it to settle.
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.
That would work perfectly.
Id love to do this one but alas im lactose intolerant. I get eat a tiny bit of feta but not a lot
Would puff pastry work for this??
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?
You are looking very beautiful 🤩
I am chef in ksa
Can I do this with left over turkey
YIASOU DHMHTRA , HOW IS THE NEW HOUSE? ANY WAY I DIDN'T KNOW IN THE BECHAMEL, YOU PUT EGGS IN
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.
