Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients like eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, and baking powder are pantry staples found at any standard grocery store or supermarket. For the Parmesan and mozzarella, look in the refrigerated dairy aisle; use standard block cheese and grate it yourself for the best melting results. Chicken bouillon cubes are widely available in the seasoning aisle, though you can use high-quality granules or powder as a substitute if needed. Sweetcorn and canned peas are found in the canned goods section. For the shredded chicken, if you don't have leftovers, a store-bought rotisserie chicken is an excellent, time-saving alternative.
Preparation method
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the onion until translucent and soft
- Add the shredded chicken, corn, and peas to the pan, season with salt to taste, mix everything thoroughly, and set the filling aside
- Place the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, grated Parmesan, and bouillon cubes into your blender
- Blend all the batter ingredients until you have a perfectly smooth, uniform mixture
- Gently stir in the baking powder using a spoon or a spatula to combine
- Lightly grease a medium baking dish or casserole with oil and dust it with a little flour
- Pour half of the batter into your prepared baking dish
- Evenly spread the chicken filling over the layer of batter
- Pour the remaining batter over the top, covering the filling completely
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the surface
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden and the pie feels firm to the touch
Observations
This recipe is a true kitchen staple in Brazil, loved for its simplicity and reliability. You just toss the batter ingredients into a blender for a smooth, pourable consistency, while the filling packs in shredded chicken, sweetcorn, and peas for that signature flavor. It’s a fantastic way to repurpose leftover cooked chicken.
