Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets or grocery stores. As a substitute for Parmesan, any hard, salty aged cheese works well, while sunflower or canola oil are ideal for the batter.
Preparation method
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks of the 3 eggs
- Set aside the stiffly beaten egg whites for the final step
- In a blender, mix the wheat flour, oil, egg yolks, milk, cooked rice, and grated Parmesan cheese
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste and blend for a few more seconds
- Once the batter is smooth, add the baking powder and mix gently
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula or whisk to maintain the airiness
- Grease a baking dish with oil or butter and dust it with wheat flour
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish
- Spread the seasoned, shredded chicken over this first layer of batter
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until the pie is golden and firm
