Salt and black pepper to taste
2 American-style cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 American-style cup of oil

1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 kg of cooked, seasoned, and well-shredded chicken breast

Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local grocery stores or supermarkets. For the Parmesan, authentic imported cheese is ideal, but standard local grated options are perfectly acceptable substitutes.
Preparation method
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks of the 3 eggs
- Set the egg whites aside to be beaten to stiff peaks for later
- In a blender, process the all-purpose flour, oil, egg yolks, milk, cooked rice, and grated Parmesan cheese
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste and pulse a little more
- Once the batter is smooth, add the baking powder and mix gently
- Now, fold the stiff-beaten egg whites into the batter carefully, using a spatula or whisk so as not to deflate it
- Grease a baking dish with oil or butter and dust with a little all-purpose flour
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish
- Spread the shredded and seasoned chicken evenly over this first layer of batter
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the pie is golden and firm
