Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Grease the baking dish with the melted butter. Cut the chicken into cubes and the bacon into 1 cm wide strips. Mix pepper, flour, and almonds in a plastic bag, add the cubed chicken, and shake well to coat each piece evenly with the spice mixture.

4. After half an hour, take the dough out of the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap, and smooth the dough with your hands. Generously flour the work surface. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to fit the size of your baking dish, moisten the edges of the dish with water so the dough sticks to them. Place the dough over the chicken and seal the edges. Make 3 large slits in the dough to allow steam to escape. Brush the dough with milk.
