An aromatic chicken pie with various cheeses that make it creamy and very flavorful. You can present it at your Christmas or Easter table, at a festive gathering, or even for your Sunday lunch. It's also a great option for packing your child's school lunch or taking to work. It's easy to make and incredibly delicious.
Your ingredients:
1 boiled chicken, weighing approximately 1 kilogram
1 packet of village-style pastry or phyllo dough
200g grated Parmesan cheese
2 leeks, finely chopped
300g grated Gouda cheese
1 whole egg plus an additional yolk (keep the egg white for brushing)
A pinch of sesame seeds
Salt, pepper, nutmeg
A little vegetable oil
We take the boiled chicken, remove the skin, and shred it into small pieces. In a deep saucepan, we saute the leeks. Then, we add a little of the chicken broth we boiled and let it simmer for 2 minutes. We add the chicken and a little more broth. We set it aside. We add the cheeses, the egg, nutmeg, and mix well. We take our baking dish and grease it with a little oil. We start layering the pastry sheets. We lay half of them at the bottom, and in between each sheet, we brush it with oil using a pastry brush. Then, we pour the filling evenly and continue with the remaining sheets, following the same procedure. Finally, we brush the top sheet with the egg yolk and sprinkle some sesame seeds. We score the pie and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for one hour.
