• 3. ) To make pie, overlap 10 sheets of fillo in a 9" pie pan, buttering the sheets as you layer them in the pie pan. Pour chicken mixture on fillo dough. Top with remaining 10 sheets, overlapping the fillo and brushing each layer. Score top.
• 4.) Bake in preheated 350ºF oven for 25 to 40 minutes or until golden brown Let stand 5 minutes. Serve hot.
• GENERAL FILLO DOUGH HANDLING DIRECTIONS. Allow fillo dough to thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bring to room temperature before using. Carefully unroll fillo sheets onto a smooth, dry surface. Cover fillo completely with plastic wrap, then a damp towel.Keep fillo covered until needed. Do not leave uncovered for more than one minute to avoid drying out. Microwave butter until melted. This will give you a lighter and flakier pastry. Brush each layer of fillo with melted butter, margarine or oil.To prevent edges from cracking, brush edges first and then work into center. Be sure to brush the last layer of fillo with melted butter.Fillings should be chilled and not excessively moist. Fillo may be rolled and refrozen to store when not in use.

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium Dutch oven or large saucepan, skin-sides down. Cover with broth and 2 cups water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool about 30 minutes. Strain broth, discarding solids (you should have about 3 1/2 cups).
• Remove chicken from bones and shred meat into bite-size chunks. Discard skin and bones. You'll need 2 1/2 cups chicken; save the rest for salads or sandwiches.
• Wash and dry Dutch oven or saucepan; melt butter in it over medium-high heat. Add leeks, carrots, celery, potato, 1 teaspoon salt, and some pepper. Cook, stirring, until leeks are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add vermouth; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Stir in flour; cook 20 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in 2 3/4 cups broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until potato is just barely tender, about 5 minutes (mixture will look very thick; that's okay, as the vegetables will release liquid in the oven).
• Stir in chicken, peas, artichokes, and chopped tarragon. Season to taste; transfer to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish (such as a 9 1/2-to-10-by-2-inch-deep round one) and let cool 30 minutes, or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a sheet of phyllo lightly with melted butter. Scrunch into a loose ball and place on filling. Repeat with more sheets brushed with butter, covering the filling but leaving a bit of space between pieces. Bake until golden brown and bubbling in center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving, garnished with tarragon sprig.

Steps:

• Place the stock and chicken into a saucepan and bring to a light boil. Turn occasionally and cook chicken for about 15 minutes or until it is no longer pink.
• In a large pot melt 1/2 of the stick of butter over low heat. Add the celery and onions, potatoes and carrots and cook on low heat, stirring often, for about 15 minutes. The veggies should only be crisp tender. Next add the fresh corn off the cob and the fresh green beans to the pot.
• Add the remaining 1/2 stick of butter, cut into chunks, and cook for about 7 more minutes with the lid on.
• Turn off the heat to the burner.
• Add the family sized can of Cream of Chicken Soup and the jar of Chicken Gravy along with the pepper. Stir all until well mixed. Chop the chicken into small bites and stir into the vegetable mixture.
• Line 2 deep-dish pie plates with pie crusts, fill each with 1/2 of this wonderful chicken and vegetable mixture. Then put a pie crust on top of each one.
• Seal the edges with a nice crimp, slip the top of the crusts, (I usually make a cute design in mine). Brush the whole top crust with some egg white.
• Using 3 inch pieces of aluminum foil, cover the edges so that they don't over-brown. Take these off during the last 15 minutes of baking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Enjoy!
