This chicken pie with vegetables and cheese on ready-made yeast dough is a true gastronomic delight. A European classic inspired by traditional homemade pies, it combines juicy chicken meat, aromatic mushrooms, and fresh vegetables to create a rich and balanced flavor. Tomato paste adds a gentle tanginess while spices bring zest. The finishing touch is grated cheese that melts during baking, enveloping the filling in an appetizing golden crust. This pie is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a festive feast. Its airy dough and juicy filling make each serving a small masterpiece of culinary art.

We mix the fried meat with vegetables and tomato paste and let it simmer a bit. If you find the filling too dry, you can add a little water or chicken broth. But I usually get a juicy and aromatic filling even without extra liquid.

- Mushrooms: 200 g

- Baby courgettes: 1 piece

We take the finished filling off the stove and let it cool, while we start preparing the dough. You can use store-bought dough or make it from your favorite recipe. I usually use store-bought yeast dough - it's quick and tasty.

We mix the dough and let it breathe a bit. Then we need to roll out the dough and cut out circles for the future pies.

Now that the filling has cooled, it can be placed in the pastries. I make small pastries, so one tablespoon of filling per pastry is quite enough.
