gGood morning my friends today I got to you a difficult recipe with at least 90 minutes of preparation but the results will be something so tasty that you never eat before and you will wanna do it again and again .
Is one of my favorite pies and my friends and family always ask it for me when we be together on something special like someone birthday or nome day.
Let’s go step by step and following akis petretzikis recipe to create this “kotopita”

After buying all the stuff we need we start doing the “inside job” , for me the most difficult part , if we be careful now we will create a tasteful filing .

Ingredients

1 onion, dry
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 carrot
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 tablespoon(s) paprika, sweet
1 tablespoon(s) curry
1/2 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
700 g chicken, boiled and deboned
250 g wild mushrooms, agaricus
130 g white wine
1 chicken bouillon cube
200 g heavy cream 35%
2 eggs, medium sized
1/4 bunch parsley, finely chopped
300 g kefalotyri cheese
salt
pepper
100 g olive oil, for drizzling phyllo
700 g phyllo dough sheets
sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Second step is to fill our pie with the filling we create and try cook it at right temperature and time . I prefer ta creste small pies not one big cause I think can give them more of filing and it easy more easy to cook and serve

Method
Place a pan over high heat and let it get very hot.
Chop the onion into small pieces.
Add 2 tablespoons to the pan and add the onion.
While it is sautéing, chop the carrot into small pieces and add it to the pan also.
Chop the bell peppers into small pieces and add them to the pan.
Mix with a wooden spoon and add the paprika, curry and nutmeg.
Chop the mushrooms into slices and add them to the pan.
Add the boiled chicken that has been cut into pieces and sauté for 10 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Add the white wine and cook for 3-4 minutes, so that the alcohol evaporates.
Add the heavy cream and allow the sauce to thicken for 2 minutes.
When ready, remove from heat and add the eggs, grated cheese, pepper, salt and parsley.
Stir with a wooden spoon and set aside.
Preheat oven to 180* C (350* F) Fan.
Brush a round 32 cm baking pan with a generous amount of olive oil and divide the sheets of phyllo into 2 batches. (5 sheets for the bottom crust and 5 sheets for the top crust.)
Place the sheets of phyllo in the pan one at a time and drizzle each sheet added with a generous amount of olive oil.
After adding 5 sheets, spread the filling over them.
Cover with the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo and drizzle each sheet with olive oil.
Turn the edges inward to create a thick crust around the border.
Score the surface, dividing the pie into 8 pieces and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 50 minutes.
When ready, remove from oven, cut into pieces and serve.
