Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large, chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 250 grams, sliced Cremini mushrooms
• 150 grams Fresh spinach
• 100 grams, crumbled Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
• 240 milliliters Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 sheet Whole wheat pie crust
• 1 beaten Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Cube the chicken breasts and add them to the skillet, cooking until all sides are browned, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and most of the moisture has evaporated, around 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the mixture and stir well to coat.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a creamy sauce. Add the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the crumbled feta cheese. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 9

Roll out the whole wheat pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess edges.

Step 10

Pour the chicken and mushroom filling into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Cover the filling with another layer of pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork or fingers.

Step 12

Brush the top of the pie crust with beaten egg to enhance browning.

Step 13

Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 14

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
