MOROCCAN CHICKEN PIE
This is a slightly simplified version of Moroccan pastilla (also known as bsteeya or b'stillah), the savory pastry served on festive occasions. Still, there are a lot of steps involved. For ease of preparation, make the chicken filling up to a day in advance of serving - the actual building of the pie takes relatively little time. Or assemble the entire pie and refrigerate, unbaked, up to a day ahead. In Morocco, thin pastry leaves called warqa make the pie's flaky layers, but elsewhere most cooks use readily available phyllo dough. Dusting the exterior with powdered sugar might sound odd, but this traditional combination of sweet and savory is truly beguiling.

Steps:
- Make the chicken filling: Season the chicken thighs generously on both sides with salt and pepper; go heavy on the pepper. Set aside.
- Put olive oil in a wide, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, turmeric, saffron, ginger, allspice and cinnamon, and stir to combine.
- Place seasoned chicken thighs on top of onion mixture, add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a brisk simmer, cover with lid ajar and cook until chicken is tender, about 30 minutes.
- Remove thighs from pot and let cool. Continue to cook onion mixture until all broth has evaporated and only onion remains. Turn off heat and let onions cool.
- Remove and discard skin and bones from chicken thighs. Tear thigh meat into 1-inch strips and add to onion mixture. Add raisins and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning. (Chicken can be prepared in advance until this point.)
- Put ricotta in a bowl and add mint, preserved lemon, lemon juice, lemon zest and a little salt. Stir to combine, and set aside. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Remove phyllo from package, unroll to make a flat stack and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Assemble the pie: Brush bottom and sides of a 12-inch paella pan or low, round earthenware casserole with warm melted butter. Lay 2 sheets of phyllo side by side in pan, overlapping in the middle by 1 inch, pressing down in the center so phyllo lines bottom of pan, leaving the excess hanging over the sides. Butter the sheets from the center all the way to the edges.
- Repeat the process with 2 more sheets of phyllo, set at a slight angle to the first layer. Paint this layer with butter all the way to the edges. Repeat, setting the pastry again at a slight angle to the previous layer, so the overhanging edges make a complete circle by the end of the process. Make 7 buttered layers of 2 sheets each.
- Fill the pie: Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with half the almonds and pistachios. Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the pan. Drop spoonsful of the ricotta mixture over the chicken mixture. Top the ricotta layer with remaining pistachios and almonds.
- Close the pie by folding all the overhanging phyllo sheets gently toward the center of the pan, pressing to enclose the filling. Brush more butter over the top and tuck in and smooth any stray phyllo.
- Bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes, until nicely browned and crisp. To unmold, invert pie onto a cool baking sheet, exposing the flat top (formerly the bottom) of the pie. With spatulas, carefully transfer pie to a serving platter.
- Put confectioners' sugar in a mesh strainer, and shake to cover the pie generously, like a thin layer of fallen snow. Cut into wedges to serve, but for the best experience, forgo the fork, and eat the pie with your fingers.

CHICKEN JOSEPH MONROE
These are stuffed boneless chicken breasts. The nutmeg brings out the flavor of the blue cheese and Swiss cheese nestled in the chicken. Also has cream cheese, which for me has always been a plus! Delicious!

Steps:
- Melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat. The fat will rise to the top, and the solids will sink to the bottom. Skim off the white froth that appears on top. Then strain off the clear, yellow clarified butter, keeping back the sediment of the milk solids. Set the clarified butter aside.
- Combine cream cheese and the next 3 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy. Shape the mixture into 6 balls; roll in Swiss cheese.
- Cover and chill 1 hour.
- Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Spread mustard evenly over each chicken breast half.
- Top each with a chilled cheese ball.
- Fold long sides of chicken over cheese ball; fold ends over, and secure with wooden picks.
- Dredge chicken in flour; dip in egg, and roll in breadcrumbs.
- Cover and chill 1 hour.
- Brown chicken in clarified butter in a large ovenproof skillet over high heat 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place skillet in oven; bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 7 minutes or until chicken is done.
- Remove and discard the toothpicks.

- Flatten chicken breasts: Lay a chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken until it's about 1/4" thick. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Season each piece with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Roll: Lay a slice each of Swiss cheese and ham over one of the chicken breasts on a sheet of plastic wrap. You might need to use 2 pieces of each depending on how big your cheese and ham slices are. Roll the chicken width-wise and wrap it tightly in the plastic wrap by rolling, then tying the ends together. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and allow them to chill in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Dredge: Add the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls. Season the flour and eggs with salt and pepper. Unwrap the chicken breasts and dredge them first in the flour, then eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs.
- Fry: Fill a deep skillet about 2" high with the vegetable oil. Heat to 325F. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes, flip, then cook for another 5 minutes or until the center reaches an internal temperature of 165F.* Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes.
