Cheese pie with chicken is a refined dish of Georgian cuisine, where the juiciness of chicken fillet harmoniously combines with the rich flavors of cheeses. The crumbly and aromatic pastry serves as a wonderful base for the rich filling made of a creamy mixture, parmesan, blue cheese, mozzarella, and cheddar. Baked to a golden crust, the pie acquires a tender texture and enticing aroma. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive table. Its creamy taste complemented by light spicy notes of oregano creates a gastronomic pleasure that is hard to forget. Such a pie can be served as an independent dish or in combination with fresh green salads, highlighting its rich flavor profile.
