Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients like eggs, milk, flour, onions, and canned corn or peas are standard items available in any local Barbadian supermarket. For the shredded chicken, use cooked chicken breast or rotisserie leftovers from local butchers or supermarket deli sections. Parmesan and mozzarella can be found in the dairy or cheese aisle of any major grocer. If you struggle to find specific Brazilian items, stick to generic high-quality staples found in local markets; there is no need for specialty imports for this recipe.
Preparation method
- Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion until soft and translucent
- Add the shredded chicken, sweetcorn, and peas, then season with salt to taste. Mix everything well, set the filling aside, and let it cool slightly
- In your blender, combine the eggs, milk, oil, flour, Parmesan, and beef stock cubes
- Whiz the mixture on high speed until you have a smooth, well-combined batter
- Stir in the baking powder gently using a spoon or spatula until just incorporated
- Lightly grease a medium baking dish or ovenproof casserole with a bit of oil and dust it with a little flour, shaking off the excess
- Pour half of the batter into your prepared baking dish, smoothing it out to cover the bottom
- Evenly spread the prepared chicken filling over the layer of batter
- Pour the remaining batter over the top, making sure to cover the filling completely
- Scatter the grated mozzarella over the top of the pie for that perfect melty finish
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is set in the middle
