Homemade Uzbek Kurnik

Ingredients

For the dough:

500 g flour

1/2 pack margarine

100 g sour cream

1 egg

1/2 tsp baking soda

For the filling:

300 g potatoes

2 onions

250 g chicken (fillet)

Salt

Pepper

Herbs

First, knead the dough with the ingredients listed above. Soften the margarine thoroughly. Add the sour cream and mix. Add the beaten egg and mix. Add the baking soda, slaked with vinegar, and salt, and mix. Sift the flour and gradually add it to the dough, mixing constantly. Cover the finished dough with a napkin and let it rest for half an hour.

For the filling, cut the chicken into small pieces. Peel and dice the potatoes. Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Wash, dry, and chop the herbs. Combine everything together, season with salt and pepper. Stir.

To form the pie, divide the dough into two parts. One part should be larger than the other. Roll out the larger part and place it in the pan or baking pan where the homemade chicken pie will be baked. The edges of the dough should hang over the pan.

Spread the filling on the pie and add one tablespoon of water for juiciness. Cover with the second layer of dough. Pinch the edges. Brush the chicken pie with egg and place in a hot oven.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. The chicken pie will bake for about an hour and a half.

Enjoy!
