Yummy thanks Lainey. I scaled this back to make a little pie for the two of us although I used a whole box of spinach and 4 sheets of filo. It was so good I want it again. I used two teaspoons of lemon infused olive oil to cook off my onion and chicken-it was a good addition. I think this would be really good served with a yoghurt and mint sauce and will do that next time.

I made a half recipe in a 9x9 and it is amazing! I only changed by adding 1 tsp garlic powder. Next time I will make the full amount to have more leftovers, or make half and freeze the other half. The filo was tricky. I didn't worry about fully defrosting the bag of frozen spinach since it simmers off the extra liquid.
