Where to find ingredients
You can find most of these ingredients at local supermarkets or neighbourhood markets like those in Accra or Kumasi. For 'all-purpose flour', regular wheat flour available in the baking aisle is perfect. Beef stock cubes (often referred to as 'stock cubes') are widely available in the seasoning section. For the 'sweetcorn' and 'green peas', you can buy them in standard tinned forms at any well-stocked grocery store. Grated Parmesan and mozzarella can be found in the refrigerated dairy section; if you have trouble finding authentic Parmesan, look for hard, aged continental cheese alternatives.
Preparation method
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion until translucent
- Stir in the shredded chicken, sweetcorn, and green peas, seasoning with salt to taste. Mix well to combine the filling and set aside
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan, and beef stock cubes
- Blend all the base ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well-combined
- Gently fold in the baking powder using a spoon or spatula
- Grease a medium-sized baking dish or casserole with oil and lightly dust it with flour
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish
- Spread the chicken filling evenly over the bottom layer of batter
- Pour the remaining batter over the top, covering the filling completely
- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella over the top of the pie
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pie is firm
