Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets in Lesotho, typically in the baking, canned goods, and refrigerated sections. If you don't have bouillon cubes, you can substitute with a teaspoon of chicken stock powder. Freshly shredded chicken breast is the best option for the filling, though rotisserie chicken can be used for a quicker alternative.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the onion until translucent.
- Add the shredded chicken, corn, and peas, then season with salt to taste. Mix the filling well and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan, and bouillon cubes.
- Blend all the batter ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Add the baking powder and stir gently using a spoon or spatula.
- Grease a medium-sized baking dish or casserole with oil and lightly dust with flour.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the chicken filling evenly over the bottom layer of batter.
- Cover the filling with the remaining batter.
- 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 pie is golden brown and set.
