Steps:
- Season the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, garlic, greek oregano, and olive oil.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large skillet on medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Cook until the first side is a dark golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side until equally brown, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and cook the chicken until it's cooked through about 10 more minutes. Set the chicken aside to cool and then slice it.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- To a bowl, add the ricotta, chopped frozen spinach, feta cheese, chopped green onion, beaten eggs, dill, and pepper, and stir to combine.
- Place the butter into a large shallow dish. Take about 5 sheets of the thin phyllo dough and dip it in the butter.
- Place the buttered phyllo into a 9 inch (23 cm) springform pan. Make sure the dough complete covers the sides and hangs over the edges of the pan. Use as many sheets as needed to create a even layer all around.
- Spread half of the feta spinach mixture on the bottom of the springform pan on top of the phyllo dough. Shingle one layer of the sliced cooked chicken, and spread the other half of the spinach feta mixture. Make sure each layer is tightly pressed.
- Place the chopped tomatoes on the outer rim of the pie. Place a ring of chopped red onion, and then place chopped kalamata olives in the center.
- Fold the phyllo dough from the edges of the pan to the center and cover the top of the pie with 3 more batches of buttered phyllo.
- Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the aluminum foil cover and cook for about 20 more minutes, until the top is golden brown.
- Let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the pie from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and chicken and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through.
- Over a medium heat, add the garlic and then half the spinach. Continue to stir. When that half is wilted, add the second half. Once this is cooked through, place in a colander or sieve over a bowl and allow to cool. Discard any liquid that drains off.
- Once cool, place in a bowl and mix through the eggs, feta and nutmeg and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Pre-heat over to 200C/180C if fan assisted. Melt the butter.
- Take a circular oven-proof dish or springform tin, approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter. Lay one sheet of filo across the dish, so that one side and the base is covered, and the rest hangs over the other side. Brush well with melted butter, then lay another sheet of filo in a similar way, at ninety degrees to the first. Repeat with the other two, so that there's an overhang in each of four directions. This will be used to cover the filling.
- Place the filling in the dish, on top of the pastry. Bring one of the ends of the pastry over the filling. Brush with butter, fold another over and repeat until all four ends are covering the top of the pie. Brush the top with butter and pop in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before serving, to prevent it breaking up.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, feta cheese, and chicken will give your pie the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this pie, so make sure to use a good quality cheese. Look for a feta cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
- Don't over mix the filling: Over mixing the filling will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: The crust should be golden brown and flaky. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Chicken spinach feta pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
