– 250 g of home cooked chicken breast
– oil to taste, for sautéing
– 2 tablespoons of chopped onion
– lemon to taste (juice – to season the chicken breast)
– Salt to taste
– pepper to taste
Ingredients DAIRY-FREE CREAM OF CORN
– 1 can(s) of canned corn
– 1 cup(s) almond milk (or nut milk)
– 4 tablespoons of coconut milk
– 1 tablespoon(s) coconut butter (or coconut oil)
– 2 tablespoons of chopped onion

Ingredients FOR GREASING/BRUSHING:

Ingredients TO ACCOMPANY (OPTIONAL)

PREPARATION:
- Separate the recipe ingredients and utensils. The yield is 6 rectangular pastries like the ones in the photo for every 2 portions.
- Season the chicken breast (preferably boneless) with salt, pepper and lemon. Tip: cook a larger quantity, because the chicken cut into pieces can be used for other recipes.
- Cook the chicken breast (see preparation).
- Drain the corn in a colander and wash it under running water to remove any residue from the preserves. Don’t throw away the can: it will be used to measure the shredded chicken.
- Place half the amount of corn in the blender, add the chestnut (or almond) milk and the coconut milk. Beat for about 3 minutes, or until smooth.
- Wash it well, chop the parsley last and set it aside wrapped in absorbent paper.
- Remove the pastry from the refrigerator.
PREPARATION:
Chicken stuffing – cooking chicken breast (do this step during pre-preparation):
- Put a kettle of water on to boil.
- Chop the onion for the filling and the creamed corn and set them aside.
- In a pressure cooker over high heat, heat the oil.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the chicken breast and let it brown.
- Turn and brown on the other side.
- Then, remove the chicken breast, place it in an auxiliary dish and reduce the heat to low and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes transparent.
- Bring chicken breast back, cover with boiling water, at least 2 inches above.
- Cover and increase heat to high.
- As the pressure increases, lower the heat back to medium.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes after sizzling.
- Go back to pre-preparation – point 4.
Dairy-free creamed corn (do this step while the chicken cooks):
- In a pan, over low heat, melt the coconut butter or coconut oil – do not let it burn.
- Increase the heat to medium, add the onion, a pinch of salt and brown until it becomes transparent.
- Add the other half of the drained (unbeaten) corn, season with salt and pepper and continue to brown for another 2 minutes.
- Add the blended corn to the blender and when it boils, reduce the heat to medium.
- Cook the creamed corn, stirring, until it boils and reduce the heat to low.
- Without stopping stirring, continue cooking, stirring for another 5 minutes, enough for it to become very full-bodied and dense.
- Check the seasoning (salt and pepper) and adjust if necessary.
- Turn off the heat and set aside.
Chicken stuffing – shred and measure:
- Once the expected cooking time for the chicken has passed, turn off the heat, remove the pressure and open the pan.
- On a cutting board, using two forks, shred the chicken.
- Measure the amount used in the recipe (½ can cooked and shredded chicken for every 2 servings – use the can of corn as a measuring cup).
- Filter and reserve the chicken broth for other preparations.
Chicken, corn and creamy filling:
- Mix the chicken cut into pieces with the creamed corn, making sure they are well incorporated.
- The filling must be consistent to fill the pastries without dripping.
- Add the chopped parsley, mix well.
- Let cool.
Assemble the pastries:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Pour a little water into a bowl to seal the edges.
- Place a drizzle of oil in another bowl to brush the pastries.
- Grease the baking dish(s), preferably non-stick, with oil.
- Roll out the finished dough on a smooth surface.
- Place the dough on the work surface and cut out rectangles or circles of the desired size.
- Place the filling in the center of one side of the dough.
- Using a brush, apply a little water to the edges of the dough.
- Fold the dough in half and press the edges together to adhere.
- Using a fork, press the edges of the pasta(s) so that they are well sealed.
Baked pastries, without frying – COOKING:
- Lightly brush the entire surface of the shortcrust pastry with oil so that it becomes golden brown during cooking, being careful not to soak it, just a little.
- Arrange the pastries on one or more greased baking trays, one next to the other, without stacking them.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden and crispy.
- Halfway through cooking, turn the pastries to ensure they are evenly browned.
- Remove them from the oven and place them on a plate.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Serve chicken and corn pie without frying piping hot, straight out of the oven.
- If desired, accompany with pepper sauce.
