Directions:
- Place chicken, stock and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Skim as necessary.
- Remove from heat and allow chicken to cool in the stock. Remove meat from bones, discarding skin, and tear into chunks. Reserve 600ml of stock.
- Melt 75g butter in a saucepan and cook seasoned onions until soft, about 10 minutes, and reserve.
- Melt remaining butter in another saucepan and add flour. Cook until butter is foaming, stirring regularly.
- Whisking continuously, add reserved stock one third at a time. Bring to the boil between each addition. Stir in nutmeg and saffron. Remove sauce from the heat. Cut a 26-centimetre diameter circle from each filo sheet. Brush eight sheets with olive oil and line a 22-centimetre pie dish so the filo comes up the sides.
- Spoon in onions and then chicken. Pour sauce over chicken to just cover.
- Oil remaining filo and place on top, tucking in edges. Brush with oil, score and sprinkle with nutmeg.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until golden. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
