Chicken B'stilla

Chicken B'stilla is a traditional Moroccan dish, a sweet and savory pie made with chicken, almonds, and spices, all wrapped in a crispy pastry.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large pot, cook the chicken thighs with the onion, garlic, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, saffron, and chicken broth until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool. Once cool, remove the skin and bones and shred the meat.
Reduce the broth in the pot until it thickens, then stir in the beaten eggs and cook until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the shredded chicken and ground almonds.
Brush a pie dish with melted butter and layer it with phyllo dough, brushing each layer with more butter.
Spread the chicken mixture over the phyllo dough, then top with more layers of phyllo dough, brushing each layer with butter.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
Dust the b'stilla with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving.
