Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken, onions, garlic, olive oil, and standard salt at local markets or grocery shops. Catupiry is a specialty Brazilian cream cheese; if unavailable, a high-quality, thick, and spreadable cream cheese can be used as a substitute, though the texture and flavor profile will differ from the original.
Preparation method
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded chicken to the pan and season with salt to your preference.
- Stir everything well and let it cook for a few minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Catupiry.
- Mix well until the filling is smooth, creamy, and uniform.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before using it to stuff your pastry dough.
