Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough
½ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes
2 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
2 tablespoons capers
2 (8 ounce) containers creme fraiche
1 dash hot chile sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground curry powder, or to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1 (16.5 ounce) can pitted dark sweet cherries, drained
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 1-quart casserole dish.
  • Unroll phyllo dough and lay a slightly damp dishtowel over it. Carefully lift one sheet of dough from stack and fit into greased casserole dish. Brush sheet of dough very lightly with melted butter or margarine. Repeat process with 9 more sheets of phyllo dough. Keep unused dough covered with damp towel as much as possible, to prevent drying out. Cover phyllo-lined dish with plastic wrap and set aside.
  • Place a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Pour olive oil into pan. Saute onion until limp, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic and chicken, and saute until chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through.
  • Add ginger, capers, creme fraiche, chili sauce, curry powder, and salt and pepper to skillet. Stir in cherries, then taste to check seasoning. Simmer until cherries are heated through.
  • Remove plastic wrap from casserole dish and pour in chicken mixture. Cover mixture with a sheet of phyllo dough. Brush very lightly with melted butter or margarine. Repeat process with 9 more sheets of phyllo. Brush top layer of phyllo with butter or margarine, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and the filling was simple to put together. I'll definitely be making this again.

The crust was a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll try using a different type of crust next time.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think it would be better with less sugar in the filling.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned cherries. I'll try it again with fresh cherries next time.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a winner. The combination of chicken, cherries, and almonds is just perfect. I highly recommend it!

I added a cup of chopped pecans to the filling, and it gave the pie a nice crunchy texture. I also used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it turned out great.

This chicken cherry pie was a hit with my family! The filling was sweet and savory, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
