Metodo di preparazione
- Prepare the chicken breast by cooking and shredding it
- In a bowl, prepare the filling: mash or process the ricotta
- Add about 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (or all-purpose flour), and salt to taste, mixing well to bind
- Incorporate the chopped parsley and chives, and other seasonings of your preference
- Let the filling cool
- In another large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients for the dough: cornstarch, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat bran, salt, and baking powder
- Add the egg and margarine to the dry mixture and start working the dough, as if making a crumble
- Gradually add soybean oil, just enough to bind the dough and have it start to pull away from your hands without sticking
- To assemble the pot pie, prepare the dough for the top crust: place a portion of the dough in a plastic bag and roll it out into a rectangular shape, large enough to cover your baking dish
- In a baking dish approximately 30 cm in diameter, line the bottom and sides with the remaining dough, which should be rolled thinner
- Fill the dish with the cooled chicken filling
- Cover the filling with the top crust dough prepared in the plastic bag
- Brush the surface of the dough with an egg yolk
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown
- Serve the pot pie hot, with brown rice and watercress salad
