Instructions
- 1
Cook Chicken: Brown chicken with onions, cinnamon, and saffron. Add water and simmer until tender (about 45 mins). Remove chicken, shred the meat, and set aside.
- 2
Prepare Egg Mixture: Reduce the remaining chicken cooking liquid until thick. Beat the eggs and slowly stir them into the simmering liquid to create a creamy scrambled egg texture.
- 3
Prepare Almonds: Fry blanched almonds until golden, then pulse in a food processor with powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon until coarsely ground.

Assemble Layers: In a buttered round baking dish, layer 5-6 sheets of phyllo dough (brushing each with melted butter), letting edges hang over. Add the egg mixture, then the shredded chicken, then the almond mixture.
- 5
Fold and Bake: Fold the overhanging phyllo over the filling and top with 2-3 more buttered sheets, tucking them under to form a pie. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes until golden and crisp. Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
