Layer cake with chicken and potatoes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for making a puff pastry pie with chicken and potatoes. You can take any part of the chicken: shins, thighs or breast. If the dough is frozen, remove it from the freezer in advance to thaw.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash chicken thighs under cold water, dry well. Remove the skin, cut the meat from the bones (I got it 270 gr.). Cut the chicken into small pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the onion previously peeled from the husk, cut into small cubes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel potatoes washed under running water with a brush, cut into thin strips. The shape and size of the slicing components of the filling can be selected at will. But keep in mind that the smaller the ingredients are cut, the faster the pie will bake.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a suitable, convenient container, combine the prepared chicken meat, potatoes and onions. Add salt. You can add any spices to taste. Mix everything well.

6. Step 6:

   

   Divide the puff pastry into 2 unequal parts. Lightly sprinkle the table with flour, roll out most of the dough into a layer according to the size of the mold so that it falls on the sides.

7. Step 7:

   

   Grease the baking dish with a small piece of butter. Lay out a layer of dough, distributing it along the bottom and sides of the mold. I have a form of 18*18 cm .

9. Step 8:

   

   Spread the prepared filling evenly on the dough.

10. Step 9:

    

    Spread the pieces of butter on top of the filling so that the filling is juicier.

11. Step 10:

    

    Roll out the smaller part of the dough similarly into a non-thin layer. Cover the pie with the dough on top. Connect the edges of the lower and upper layers of the dough and pinch thoroughly so that the pie does not open during baking. In the middle of the pie, make a small hole for steam to escape. Through it it will be possible to check the filling for readiness.

12. Step 11:

    

    Grease the pie with the beaten yolk on top so that the top is golden after baking.

13. Step 12:

    

    Bake the pie in a preheated 180C oven for about 50 minutes. After 20 minutes of baking, cover the pie with foil on top. Otherwise, smeared with yolk, it may turn too red. The baking time will depend on the specifics of the oven, as well as on the material of the mold in which the pie is baked. The readiness of the filling can be checked with a skewer by piercing a piece of chicken or potatoes through a hole in the pie.

14. Step 13:

    

    Serve the finished pie hot, cut into pieces. Bon appetit!
