Where to find ingredients
In Micronesia, look for flour, eggs, margarine, chicken breast, onion, tomato sauce, cream, cheese, and baking powder in supermarkets and general grocery stores. Cheiro-verde is ideal; as a substitute only, use a mix of fresh parsley and spring onion when available. Prato-style cheese is ideal; as a substitute only, use a mild melting cheese.

Observations
This creamy Brazilian chicken pie is a comforting savoury bake for lunch, dinner, or a shared snack. The dough lines the pan, the shredded chicken is seasoned with onion, tomato sauce, and herbs, and the topping brings a soft, creamy finish. Bake until golden so the filling stays juicy and the surface sets nicely.
