Step-by-step preparation

  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    Ingredients. For the dough, I used quail eggs, since I simply didn’t have chicken eggs.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Sift the flour with salt, sugar and baking powder into the bowl of a food processor, add the diced butter and grind the mixture until crumbly.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Add sour cream and egg.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    Knead soft dough. Roll the finished dough into a ball and leave to rest.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Ingredients for filling.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Finely chop the onion, cut the potatoes into small cubes.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Remove the meat from the bones and cut it into small cubes. Instead of a leg, you can use fillet, but, for my taste, it turns out a little dry.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    In a bowl, mix onions, potatoes and chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. By the way, some write that the filling for such pies is not mixed, but laid out in layers separately, but I don’t feel the difference, and you do what’s most convenient for you.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    Divide the dough into pairs of koloboks. We make one larger bun, weighing about 80 g (depending on what size the pies should be), and the second bun, two or three times smaller, weighing 25 g.

  10. STEP 10

    STEP 10

    Roll out a large bun (this is our base). Place the filling in the center.

  11. STEP 11

    STEP 11

    Roll out the buns into smaller ones and cover them with filling. We connect the edges and form a round pie.

  12. STEP 12

    STEP 12

    Brush the resulting pies with egg and place in an oven preheated to 180 C for 30-40 minutes.

Great recipe. I made these yeast-free chicken pies. I am delighted. The dough is kneaded with kefir.

Great recipe! I make a similar pie, only it is large, covering the entire baking sheet, and made from puff pastry, and the filling is exactly the same. It turns out very tasty. An employee at work suggested it to me 10 years ago, and since then it has been our favorite dish - not difficult to prepare, satisfying and very tasty. But I didn’t even have the thought of making this pie in portions, as in this recipe. You should definitely try it. I think that this will be more convenient, because... I cut a large pie into portions and the filling dries out a little. And here this problem will be solved. Irisha, thank you for the great idea and great recipe!!! I advise everyone to try making these mini-pies and, I’m sure, they will become your favorite dish!!!

Irisha, thank you so much for the recipe!!! It turned out to be a very tasty chicken! I bake one large pie, keep it in the oven for about an hour, 40 minutes is clearly not enough. Please tell me for the future how to calculate the baking time for a large pie? By weight?
