Step 1
The recipe for a quick meat pie has a few secrets. The main point is having pre-cooked meat and eggs. Thanks to these ready-made ingredients, the process doesn't take much time. Puff pastry is used as the base, which should be taken out of the freezer ahead of time and defrosted. Now, pour a little vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it up. Add the chicken cut into small pieces and fry for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, peel and chop the eggs. Add them to the pan. Wash the fresh herbs, dry them, and chop finely. Add to the chicken, remove from heat, and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the finished filling cool down completely.
