Chicken and Mushroom Pie with Phyllo-Parmesan CrustBrian Leatart

Boneless chicken thighs give a moist result, but chicken breasts work well, too. Mix wild mushrooms with cultivated button mushrooms for a deeper flavor. Goes great with: Mashed potatoes flecked with chopped fresh parsley or tarragon. What to drink: Chardonnay or Merlot.

Quick Trick:

Phyllo pastry dough is scrunched to form the pretty "biscuits" that top this pot pie.
