- 4 sheets phyllo dough
- 1 1⁄2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, beans)
- 1 medium onion, chopped (6 oz)
- 4 stalks celery
- 1 1⁄2 cups fat-free chicken broth
- 1⁄4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1⁄2 cup fat-free half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese (14g)
- nonstick cooking spray

directions
- NOTE: If you have never worked with phyllo before, don’t be afraid! Read the box directions carefully and have everything prepared to assemble before you open the phyllo. (And, it is pronounced “fee-low.”).
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a round casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large non-stick skillet, add ½ tsp olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook through until no longer pink. Remove to a plate.
- Add remaining oil, onion, garlic, and celery to skillet; cook 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in broth and half-and-half. Cook, stirring until mixture comes to a slight boil.
- Add frozen vegetables, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on medium/low, simmering and stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in chicken, parsley, and sage. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Unroll phyllo. Remove 2 sheets to the counter and spray them lightly with cooking spray. Place them in the bottom of the casserole dish so they cross each other, and run up the sides.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into the casserole dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Fold phyllo over the top. Remove 2 more sheets, coat with spray, and place them on top of the pie so they cross each other. Tuck the edges down the sides as best you can.
- Cook at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until hot and bubbly inside. Let stand 5-8 minutes before serving.

This was great! When I have phyllo in your freezer I love to find recipes to use it up.I used freshly cooked potatoes,carrots and mushrooms instead of the frozen ones.Love the idea of the Pam(I used butter flavoured). Will make this again for sure.It looks as if you worked hard to prepare but it's so easy. Like you say don't be afraid of phyllo;it's fun.Thanks for posting;it's going in my Best from Zaar. Rita/Sage

I had some Phyllo shells in the freezer to use up and thought this recipe would be a great way to do so. I was a little intimidated by the time listed to make it so I looked for ways to cut down on that. I baked the Phyllo shells while I prepared the chicken and then placed the mixture after cooked in the shells. Looked great! I also steamed the vegetables in the microwave before adding them to the gravy/chicken mixture. I used a Normandy blend that I chopped fine. I left out the sage as I didn't have any, but it tasted great and everyone had seconds and said we should make it again. Organized time from starting the recipe to the table under 40 minutes! Great recipe!
