This aromatic Moroccan-style chicken pie is a beautiful balance of savoury and sweet flavours, inspired by the traditional north African pastilla. High in protein and packed with fragrant spices like saffron, cinnamon and ginger, the filling is made with tender chicken thighs and juicy golden raisins. The dish is encased in layers of crisp, buttery filo pastry and finished with a delicate almond and icing sugar crunch, providing a sophisticated texture that makes it a real showstopper for dinner parties.
As a nutritious, high-protein meal, this pie is perfect for those seeking a comforting yet healthy homemade dinner. The filling can be prepared up to two days in advance, making it an excellent choice for a stress-free weekend bake. Serve it alongside a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables to complete the meal. It is a wonderful way to introduce authentic Middle Eastern flavours to your kitchen using simple, shop-bought pastry.

How to make Moroccan-Style Chicken Pie
Voltar ao conteúdoHeat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and saffron; stir 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over; stir 1 minute. Add broth; bring to simmer. Sprinkle chicken with salt; add to broth mixture. Gently simmer chicken uncovered until cooked through, reducing heat if necessary to prevent boiling, about 20 minutes. Stir in raisins. Set skillet aside until chicken is cool enough to handle.
Transfer chicken to plate. Shred chicken coarsely and return to skillet. If sauce is thin, simmer over medium heat until sauce coats chicken thickly. Stir in coriander and parsley. Season filling with salt and pepper. Cool filling completely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.
Finely grind almonds, icing sugar, 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, and cinnamon in mini processor.
Stack 10 phyllo sheets on work surface. Invert 9-inch glass pie dish onto stack. Cut around dish through phyllo, making ten 10-inch rounds. Remove dish. Cover rounds with plastic wrap and damp kitchen towel.
Brush same pie dish with melted butter. Place 1 phyllo round on work surface; brush with butter and sprinkle with scant 1 tablespoon almonds. Top with another phyllo round, brush with butter and sprinkle with scant 1 tablespoon almonds. Repeat stacking with 3 more phyllo rounds, butter, and almonds. Fit phyllo stack into prepared pie dish. Brush with butter. Spoon filling evenly over. Place 1 phyllo round on work surface. Brush with butter and sprinkle with scant 1 tablespoon almonds. Top with another phyllo round, brush with butter and sprinkle with scant 1 tablespoon almonds. Repeat with 2 phyllo rounds, butter, and almonds. Place stack atop filling; top with remaining phyllo round. Tuck in edges. Drizzle more butter over top. Cut 4 slits through top phyllo stack to allow steam to escape.
