How to Make Flourless Chicken Pot Pie:
- In a pan, heat some olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the diced tomato, followed by the shredded chicken. Season with oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and add 1 ¾ cups (400 ml) of water. Simmer for 3 minutes and finish by stirring in the corn, parsley, and scallions.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 3 eggs, 1 ½ cups of butter, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Add grated parmesan cheese, sweet cassava starch (polvilho doce), and cornstarch. Mix well with your hands until a dough forms. Divide the dough into three equal parts.
- Press one part of the dough into the bottom of a baking dish and the second part up the sides. Spread half the chicken filling, add a layer of requeijão (or cream cheese) and shredded mozzarella. Add the rest of the chicken. Flatten the third part of the dough and place it on top, sealing the edges well. Brush with an egg yolk for a golden finish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180ºC) for 1 hour.
