Yeast-free chicken pie
Description
The baking is simple and quick. I highly recommend making this yeast-free chicken pie using this recipe. A pie without yeast cooks quickly, and you can choose any filling you like. Of course I advise you to try the suggested chicken filling as well. We'll add cheese to it and get juicy, tender chicken fillet that will be extraordinarily tasty even when cooled. You don't have to roll the dough into a circle—you can make the pie in an oval shape, as a rectangle, and so on. Happy baking!
