This sensational Greek chicken pie was discovered by Rick Stein in a mountain village in the Zagori region of Greece. It has become one of the most popular chicken pie recipes in the world and it is the most popular chicken recipe on Chef\u2019s Pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s hear what Rick Stein had to say about this recipe in his own words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greeks love their pies almost as much as we or the Aussies do, but theirs are made by building up thin sheets of filo pastry. This Greek chicken pie was sensational<\/strong>, made by a mother-and-daughter team, Iro and Virginia Papapostolu, in the village of Aspraggeli in the region of Zagori<\/a>, a mountainous part of Epirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pie is made from a whole chicken. The chicken and onions are first poached, and the liquid then reduced to a gelatinous sauce. It is the sweetness of the onions that really counts here.<\/p>\n\n\n
