Preparation
Chicken and potato pie is a dish that can always help out. Tasty, satisfying, uncomplicated - these qualities make it special. You can make your task even easier if you buy ready-made puff pastry in the store.
The pie can be made from yeast, puff pastry, unleavened, kefir or sour cream dough, and you can add many products to the chicken to suit your taste - from a variety of vegetables to various types of meat and seafood, because chicken goes well with almost everything. But a common problem with all pies is dryness, which occurs when food is processed incorrectly or cooking rules are not followed. This recipe with photos will tell you how to make a delicious chicken pie without drying it out.
- Wash the chicken breast under cold water and cut into small pieces.
- Peel the onions and potatoes. Cut the potatoes into small slices, and the onion into cubes, mix with the chicken. The finer you chop all the ingredients, the faster the cake will bake.
- Salt and pepper the filling and add the necessary spices. I usually put a little cumin (cumin) in the meat filling; you can use fresh and dried herbs, red pepper, and ground bay leaf. If you want something unusual and new in the taste of chicken pie, add curry seasoning to the filling.
- Puff pastry must first be defrosted in a warm place; for this you can use the defrost mode in the microwave or a hot radiator. In both cases, the dough must be turned over periodically and left a little time in reserve, because the middle most likely will not warm up completely. The finished dough should be divided into two parts (one part is larger in size, the other is smaller). The “larger” part will go to the bottom.
- Carefully roll out the dough - it will be better if you try to roll it in one or two directions; chaotic movements can ruin the internal structure of the dough. The thickness of both pieces should be approximately the same. The baking tray should be covered with baking paper and greased with a small amount of sunflower oil. Place the rolled out layer of dough for the bottom into the mold.
- Spread the filling onto the dough in an even layer, leaving the edges free for tucking. To make the pie soft and juicy, place small pieces of butter in the filling, you can also add a little sour cream.
- Cover the top of the pie with the second piece of dough (the smaller one).
- Next, we seal the edges of the dough up and make a small hole in the center of the pie for air to escape. You can brush the top of the pie with egg or butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds, but rest assured, it will become rosy and beautiful even without this.
- Place the pie in a preheated oven and bake at 180-190 degrees for 50-55 minutes. After an hour, remove the pie from the oven and let cool for 4-5 minutes.
We cut the pie into pieces and please your loved ones, bon appetit!

This delicious and aromatic pie with filling is a great dish for dinner or for a small family celebration. It is quite easy to prepare even for novice cooks.
Preparation of the dish “Layer Pie with Potatoes and Chicken”:
Immediately remove the dough from the freezer to allow it to melt. From my own experience I will say that you should not completely defrost the dough, otherwise it will stick together and lose the shape and consistency we need.
The puff pastry itself cooks very quickly, so the readiness of the pie will depend on the readiness of the filling. And in order not to spoil the dough (so that it does not burn while the filling is being prepared), we will prepare this filling in advance.
Cut the chicken meat into small pieces and pour mineral water over it so that the meat becomes softer and then cooks faster (this will be especially successful for pork or beef meat, since it itself cooks more slowly than chicken).
While the meat is soaking, cut the potatoes into strips.
Cut the onion into half rings, chop the dill and mix with the onion.
On the table with a rolling pin, roll out the finished layer of dough a little, rubbing it with flour first.
Let's cut the resulting layer into two almost equal parts: one part, the larger one, will be used as the base, and the second, smaller one, will be used as the top part of the pie.
Grease a baking sheet with oil, place the base on it, and on top of the base - potatoes, meat, onions, salt and pepper.
Why is this chicken pot pie easy? Naturally, because our puff pastry will be ready-made, purchased. To fill the pie we will use chicken fillet, potatoes and onions. Regular ground black pepper is ideal as a spice for this pie, so don’t skimp on it.
Despite the ease of preparation, what may inexperienced housewives encounter? Because the potatoes in the finished layer pie may turn out to be hard. The chicken cooks quickly, the dough will also brown quickly, but the potatoes will not have enough time and will remain hard.
How to solve this problem and not spoil a delicious puff pastry pie with chicken with raw potatoes? There are varieties of potatoes that boil very quickly. If you have one and you are confident in it, then feel free to put it in the pie, just cut it into smaller cubes. If you haven’t cooked anything from this batch of potatoes yet and don’t know what they are, or you have potatoes that take a long time to boil, then before putting them in the pie, boil them until half cooked, cool a little and mix with chicken and onions to fill the layer pie.
INGREDIENTS
First of all, let's cook the chicken. You can simply boil it, but I decided to fry it in a frying pan with vegetable oil. I have half a chicken with bones. You can take chicken fillet. Cut into pieces and fry until done.
While the chicken is roasting, let's start with the vegetables. Peel the potatoes and onions, wash them and then chop them finely. You can use a food processor, or you can simply cut it thinly by hand.
The potato slices turned out to be large, so cut them into strips.
Mix the prepared potatoes and onions with spices, salt and pepper.
Take the dough out of the freezer and let it defrost. Then divide the dough into 2 unequal parts. One part is 2/3 of a piece of dough.
The chicken is fried, cool it and remove the meat from the bones. Cut into pieces.
Roll out the larger piece of dough to fit the baking pan.
Evenly distribute the potatoes and onions over the dough.
Then lay out the pieces of meat.
Roll out the rest of the dough and cover the pie. Trim off excess dough. You can use it to make decorations for a pie - a braid, leaves, flowers. Pinch the edges of the pie and brush the top with beaten egg.
Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes. This is the beautiful cake you should get.

Since puff pastry can be purchased at the store, you won’t need time to prepare it and you can start preparing the filling. The first step is to chop the onion fairly coarsely into quarter rings. After completing this step, you will need cheese, which must be grated on a coarse grater. The onion is fried in vegetable oil until soft.
While the onion is being cooked, you should cut the chicken into approximately equal pieces. You don’t have to use a knife and tear it with your hands. Then you need to put it in a container, add the onion along with the butter, then the pieces of the resulting cheese. The greens are also chopped there and everything received must be salted and mixed thoroughly.
Before putting the filling on the dough, you need to prepare it and first of all roll out a layer of puff pastry into a rectangle. Then you can put half of the filling in the middle. The edges of the dough must also be prepared; to do this, they must be cut into oblique strips. The strips of the resulting dough must be wrapped, starting from the top and one at a time. First on the right, then on the left and continue until the braid is braided.
The second layer is necessary in order to make a second similar pie. After which they can be sent to a pre-prepared oven preheated to 180 degrees. You can check the cake with a toothpick. As a result, it should be ruddy in color.

Preparing the filling
Since we don’t need to mess with the dough, we start the process of making the pie with the filling. First of all, let's deal with the meat. We strongly advise against using breast meat - chicken breast meat is quite dry. But the meat removed from the thigh bone is the fattest and juiciest. Accordingly, the pie with such chicken will turn out juicier and tastier.
The meat can be placed raw. Then you need to chop it very finely. But, for piquancy, it is better to use pre-fried chicken.
Do it like this:
1.
Separate the pulp from the bones, cut it into arbitrary pieces.
2.
Place small pieces in a well-heated frying pan and sprinkle with chicken spices.
3.
Chop the onion and add it to the meat. Keep them on the fire for literally 2-3 minutes and immediately remove them.
4.
Cut the potatoes into small cubes, pour over ice water (this will ensure that they are baked in the middle of the layer cake) and mix with the meat.
The filling is ready. Some people like to layer the filling. In this case, we recommend cutting the potatoes not into cubes, but into thin slices. And don’t forget to pour it over with very cold water before adding it to the dough.
Putting the pie together
Frozen puff pastry (you can use any dough - both fresh and yeast) should melt naturally, without the use of a microwave oven. Therefore, it is better to take it out of the freezer in advance and let it stand at room temperature.
1.
Divide the dough into two unequal parts. The larger one needs to be rolled out to a thickness of 1-2 mm and placed on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil.
2.
If you don't trust your pan, it's better to place greased baking paper on the bottom.
3.
Now add the filling. If you decide to use the layer-by-layer option, then you need to put potatoes on the dough, and then meat and onions on top of it.
4.
Be sure to sprinkle some butter on top of the chicken. This is especially important if you do not use chicken legs in the recipe, but chicken breast.
5.
Place the rolled out second part of the dough on the layer of dough with chicken and potatoes, leaving a small hole in the center uncovered. It is necessary so that excess moisture escapes during baking and the baked goods do not burst.
Open Pie
Open pies with a “lattice” of strips of dough on top look beautiful. To prevent the chicken from drying out during baking, you should use a filling of eggs and sour cream.
To make this dish you will need:
- 180 g butter;
- 450 g flour;
- glass of water;
- salt;
- 2 eggs;
- 100 g sour cream;
- several potatoes;
- chicken;
- onion;
- a bunch of greenery;
- seasonings
Operating procedure:
- Cut the softened butter into pieces, add salt and flour, grind the mixture until crumbly.
- Pour water into the resulting mass and knead a stiff dough, roll it into a ball and put it in the refrigerator.
- Boil the chicken and potatoes, cool and mince, and then mix with spices, herbs and fried onions, not forgetting to add salt.
- Prepare a filling from eggs and sour cream, adding your favorite seasonings.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator, set aside a small part of it, and roll out the rest and place in a greased deep pan, covering not only the bottom, but also the sides.
- Fill the pie with the filling, spread the egg-sour cream sauce on top and decorate with a lattice of the remaining dough, cut into strips or rolled into “sausages”, then put in the oven.
Attention! When the cake is ready, do not remove it from the mold while it is hot, otherwise it may fall apart.
It is better to wait until the baked goods have cooled, divide them into pieces, and only then remove them from the container.
Ingredients
- five hundred grams of puff pastry dough__NEWL__
- two chicken breasts (fillets)__NEWL__
- ten medium potatoes__NEWL__
- three cloves of garlic__NEWL__
- salt, sunflower oil, ground pepper__NEWL__
Recipe:
Before you start cooking, you need to completely defrost the puff pastry and chicken breasts. Potatoes need to be peeled, and garlic cloves need to be peeled. Now everything is ready and you can start preparing the puff pastry pie. First, rinse the chicken breasts under cold tap water, then pat dry with paper towels or paper towels and chop very finely.
Now the peeled potatoes need to be cut into small cubes.
Chop the peeled garlic with a garlic press or chop very finely with a knife.
Place all the chopped ingredients - potatoes, chicken breasts and garlic - in a small deep bowl. Salt and pepper the ingredients in the bowl to your taste. Mix thoroughly.
Take a baking tray and cover it with special baking paper. Grease the paper with one or two tablespoons of sunflower oil. It is very convenient to spread the oil on paper using a silicone brush. I took puff pastry consisting of two identical plates. If you have dough in one layer, then you need to cut it in half. Take the first piece of dough, sprinkle flour on both sides and roll it out carefully. Place the rolled out puff pastry on a baking sheet. Place the prepared filling on top, distribute it evenly throughout the dough and smooth it out. Now take the second piece of puff pastry and roll it out carefully as well. Just make it a little smaller than the first piece of dough. Cover the filling with the rolled out dough. Pinch the edges in any way convenient for you, the main thing is that the edges of the dough are pinched securely. There is no need to grease the pie with anything, since puff pastry pies always turn out golden brown.
Now you need to put the baking sheet with the raw pie in a preheated oven. You need to bake the cake on low gas for about thirty to forty minutes. That's it, the aromatic and tasty puff pastry pie with potatoes and chicken is ready. You can cut it into portions and serve.
We invite you to add some wonderful baked goods to your collection of quick recipes. A chicken and potato pie made from puff pastry will take no more than 40 minutes of your time, and your loved ones will enjoy it as if you spent half a day cooking.

After this, remove the baked goods from the oven and let the cake “catch its breath”, covering it with a waffle napkin. After which it can be cut into portions and served. Chicken and potato pie made from puff pastry is ready.
