2 medium potatoes, not peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Makes 4 servings.
Bake at 350º F. for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven. Coat 4 individual-size baking dishes with cooking spray.

Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tsp. of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown, about 2-1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

To the pan, add 2 tsp. more oil, the leeks and celery. Cook, stirring a few times. Add the remaining salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring to combine everything. Add the milk.

Stir the flour into the broth until dissolved and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Stir in the chicken, peas, parsley and thyme. Spoon the mixture into the baking dishes.

Put the remaining oil in a small dish. Unroll the phyllo dough and cut it into quarters. Place a quarter-sheet of phyllo on top of each baking dish and brush with the oil. Repeat layering with all three layers. Tuck the edges of the phyllo into the dish rim. Sprinkle the top of each pie with the Parmesan.

Place on a baking sheet and bake until the filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.
