Creamy Chicken Pie Recipe: A Divine Snack for Your Family
If you're looking for a delicious and easy recipe to impress your family, look no further than this creamy chicken pie. In today’s cooking session, we'll take you through a wonderfully simple process, filled with tasty ingredients and comforting flavors.
Preparing the Filling
To kick things off, we need to prepare the chicken filling that will make this pie truly stand out.
Sauté the Base: Start by heating a saucepan and adding three tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in half a small chopped onion and two crushed garlic cloves. Sauté until golden brown.
Add Tomato Sauce and Spices: Mix in half a sachet of tomato sauce, a teaspoon of salt, and pepper to taste. This will add a rich flavor to the base of the filling.
Incorporate the Chicken: Next, you're going to add 500 grams of cooked, shredded chicken breast. For best results, use chicken that has been boiled with a bit of salt. Stir it all together.
Mix in Vegetables: To give your filling a fresh crunch, add nearly a cup each of fresh peas and corn, along with three tablespoons of creamy requeijão (a Brazilian cheese spread). Mix until everything is well combined.
Customize Your Filling: Feel free to get creative here—if you enjoy olives or palm hearts, add them in to personalize the dish even more. Finish off the filling by sprinkling in some chopped chives for brightness. Set this mixture aside and let it cool.
Making the Dough
While the filling cools, it's time to whip up the dough for the pie.
Blending the Ingredients: In a blender (you can also mix by hand if preferred), combine three whole eggs, 150 ml of oil, a teaspoon of salt, and 300 ml of room temperature water.
Adding Flour: Gradually add in three cups (or 375 grams) of flour while blending. Once the mixture is smooth, add a tablespoon (or 15 grams) of baking powder. Blend just long enough to combine—don’t over-mix.
With both the filling and dough ready, let’s assemble the pie.
Preparing the Pan: Use a lightly greased rectangular baking dish measuring approximately 24 cm wide by 34 cm long and 5 cm deep.
Layering the Ingredients: Start by pouring half of the batter into the bottom of the dish. Spread it out evenly.
Adding the Filling: Pour the chicken filling over the batter and smooth it out. If you'd like an extra creamy layer, you can spread a little more requeijão on top of the filling.
Finish With Dough: Pour the remaining batter over the filling to cover completely. Optionally, sprinkle some dehydrated parsley or oregano for a hint of flavor, along with some grated mozzarella if desired.
Before baking, make sure your oven is preheated to 180ºC (350ºF). Place the assembled pie in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
The Final Touch
Once baked, allow the pie to cool slightly before cutting into it. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful taste of this creamy chicken pie.
