Chicken pie - 15 recipes

Chicken pie was invented for a very long time and at all times it has been especially revered. The first mention of such a dish dates back to the 16th century. It is known that at this time, hens were preparing for the wedding, where they were solemnly hoisted at the head of the table. In this article, we offer 15 simple options for making a delicious pie stuffed with the most tender chicken breast.

Simple chicken pie

Nowadays, such a dish is still a bit of a delicacy, because we always do not have enough time to prepare fresh home-made pastries. But a quick chicken pie is prepared in literally 40 minutes.

Let's make a simple dough for him:

1. Combine a glass of mayonnaise with a glass of sour cream. We introduce a pinch of salt, a pack (10 g) of baking powder and three eggs.
2. Knead everything with a spoon, introduce portions of flour and knead uncooked dough, resembling very thick sour cream.
3. We will prepare the mold, sprinkle it a little with flour and cover it with dough, forming a layer up to two centimeters thick.
4. As a filling, we first cut 250 g of chicken fillet and level the resulting pieces of meat on the basis. They can be salted and sprinkled with spices.
5. Next, we need 1 small onion. We clean it and cut it into half rings, which we immediately distribute on the surface of the pie.
6. Top with onion grated cheese. In order to decorate such a pie, you will need a piece weighing about 200 g.

The billet must be placed in a preheated oven, where the cake will be baked at 180 ° C for 30 minutes.

Classic chicken

The classic henhouse is a truly festive cake. His recipe cannot be called simple, but for the sake of such magnificence it is worth tinkering.

The pie got its name not from the word “chicken”, but from the name of the Cossack dwelling - “kuren”, because the loaf has an external resemblance to a hut. A hole is made in its top through which, when the product is taken out of the furnace, like smoke, steam escapes.

Briefly, the technology is as follows:

• the basis of the pie is made from dough;
• several types of filling are laid out on it in turn;
• each layer is crushed with pancakes, forming a high hill, which is covered by another layer of dough;
• a hole is made at the top of the “structure”, and the workpiece is put into the furnace.

To facilitate the task, the kurnik can be done in several stages, stretching the process for a couple of days.

For example, prepare in advance chicken stuffing:

1. Cut the poultry carcass and remove the skin.
2. Put the meat in a deep pan and drown in cold water.
3. Add a couple of parsley and 5-6 peas of black pepper.
4. Put the pan on the stove and cook the chicken under the closed lid, periodically removing the resulting scum.

The meat will need to be pulled out, cooled and disassembled into fibers. You need to leave half a glass of broth for the cake, the rest can be used for other purposes.

The following type of filling is prepared from rice and mushrooms (it is easiest to take mushrooms):

1. Half a glass of cereal must be washed, pour water (2 to 1) and boil until soft.
2. Rinse a third of a kilo of mushrooms, cut them into slices and fry in oil until golden brown and the liquid evaporates.
3. Separate from each mushroom one piece of finely chopped onions and carrots.
4. Put the whole filling (mushrooms, vegetables and porridge) in one bowl, salt to taste and add a little finely chopped fresh herbs.

Let's make pancakes. We will break one egg into a deep container, add a glass of milk and 70 g of flour. Add salt at will and energetically connect with a mixer. The dough will come out completely liquid - this is what you need. We will pour it with a ladle onto a heated ungreased pan, letting it spread over the entire bottom area.

Fry the pancakes on both sides and stack them in a pile. If they are prepared in advance, they will need to be covered with foil or tightened with foil.

For the main test, take a chicken egg, sour cream (50 g), half a pack of butter, a pinch of salt and a small spoon of soda. Combine all ingredients and knead, forming a homogeneous mass. Introduce the flour and make the dough. Its ideal consistency is soft and elastic. We’ll cover the base and leave it to “breathe” for a while.

Let's collect the pie:

1. Roll out the third part of the dough in a half-centimeter thick layer, with which the round bottom is lined.
2. Alternately, we will lay out the vegetable and meat fillings on the basis, laying pancakes on each layer.
3. Roll out the remaining dough into a slightly thicker layer, cover it with a pie and make a hole in the tip of a centimeter and a half in diameter with the tip of a knife.
4. Decorate the cake with carved pieces of dough, coat with an egg and send to an already warming oven to bake at 180ºС. This process will take up to 45 minutes.

After this time, we pull out the chicken and through the hole in the apex pour chicken broth into it. The loaf must be allowed to brew, after which it can be cut into portions.
