Chicken pie
Chicken Pie
Directions
- Boil the chicken and remove its skin and bones. Preserve 1 cup of chicken stock.
- Cut the chicken in small pieces and let cool.
- Put 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan and saute the onions, the stripes of green and red pepper and the leek for a few minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix with the chicken.
- Beat 2 of the eggs.
- Empty into a large bowl the chicken mixture and mix with the cheese, the beaten eggs and the parsley. Add pepper.
- Butter a baking pan and spread the pastry so as to cover the inner walls of the pan.
- Fill evenly with the mixture.
- Cover with the rest of the pastry which should be buttered.
- Beat the third egg and coat with it the top of the pie.
- This will prevent the pastry from drying completely in the oven and it will give it a shinny color.
- Put it in an oven on a medium heat (180 C) for 45 – 60 minutes.
- It can be served hot or in room temperature.
The chicken stock is necessary because the chicken mix will dry in the oven.
