Kurnik with potatoes and chicken made from puff pastry in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make kurnik from puff pastry? Before you start cooking, remove the puff pastry from the freezer to give it time to defrost. Start cooking with the fillings. How to make fillings? The first filling is mashed potatoes with onions. Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. Heat a frying pan over low heat, pour vegetable oil into it. Add onion. Stir-fry it for a few minutes until translucent.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash, peel and place the potatoes in a pan with clean water. Place over medium heat, bring to a boil, add salt. Reduce heat and simmer potatoes until tender, 25 minutes. Check readiness with the tip of a knife - it should easily pierce the tuber. Drain the potatoes, then mash them with a potato masher.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add fried onions to potatoes. Stir. The first filling is ready.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the second filling - from boiled eggs and green onions. Boil the eggs, cool them, and then peel them. Chop the eggs into small pieces. Wash the green onions thoroughly, dry and finely chop. Combine eggs and green onions, add salt. Stir. The second filling is ready.

5. STEP 5

   

   The third filling is boiled chicken breast. How to cook chicken breast? Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and place the meat in it. Add salt. Cook the chicken for 30 minutes at a low simmer over low heat. Cool the finished breast, separate the meat from the bones and cut into small pieces. You can add pepper and spices to taste. The filling is ready.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare pancakes as a layer between the fillings. For the dough, mix milk, vegetable oil, egg white (leave the yolk for greasing), soda, salt, sugar, flour. Whisk the ingredients. You should get a liquid, homogeneous dough.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fry the pancakes on both sides in a well-heated frying pan. If necessary, you can pour a little vegetable oil into the pan. I have a non-stick frying pan, so I fry without adding oil. I got three pancakes. That's exactly what we need.

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll out the defrosted puff pastry a little. Cut a circle out of it, slightly larger in diameter than the pancake.

9. STEP 9

   

   Assemble the pie. Place the first layer of mashed potatoes with fried onions.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cover it with a pancake. Press down lightly.

11. STEP 11

    

    The next layer is an egg with green onions.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the pancake on top again.

13. STEP 13

    

    And the third layer is boiled chicken.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cover it with a pancake as well.

15. STEP 15

    

    Roll out the other half of the puff pastry so that it is enough to cover all the layers on top. Cover the pie with dough. Cut off the excess with a knife or scissors. Pinch the edges. Use the remaining dough to make various decorations.

16. STEP 16

    

    Brush the pie with beaten yolk. Bake the chicken in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25 minutes. This time is quite enough, because the filling is already ready. You just need to wait for the dough to bake and brown. Cool the finished chicken a little and serve. Bon appetit!
