Where to find ingredients
Find staples like flour, oil, milk, and eggs at local general merchants or community co-ops. For Parmesan and chicken, look in the chilled dairy and poultry sections of larger markets. Shredded chicken can be substituted with canned chicken if fresh breast is unavailable.
Preparation method
- Separate the whites from the yolks of the 3 eggs.
- Set the egg whites aside to whip later.
- In a blender, combine the flour, oil, egg yolks, milk, cooked rice, and grated Parmesan.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste and blend until combined.
- Once the batter is smooth, add the baking powder and mix gently.
- Fold in the whipped egg whites carefully using a spatula or whisk to keep the batter airy.
- Grease a baking dish with oil or butter and lightly dust it with flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish.
- Spread the seasoned shredded chicken evenly over the first layer of batter.
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the pie is golden and firm.
