How to make a quick chicken coop in the oven with chicken and potatoes? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Kefir can take any fat content. I have 2. 5%.

Melt the butter and cool.

In a bowl, combine the room temperature kefir, soda, salt and stir. Kefir will begin to foam strongly, air bubbles will appear. Due to the fact that after adding soda, the mass increases in volume by 2-3 times, the dishes must be selected taking into account this moment.

Pour melted oil into the kefir and mix quickly. The dough must be kneaded quickly until the reaction of soda with kefir is over.

Sift the flour and pour it into the dough in parts. If necessary, add a little more flour, knead a soft elastic slightly sticky dough. Depending on the quality of the flour itself, the moisture of the kefir, the flour, you may need more or less.

Therefore, focus primarily on the consistency of the dough. And do not rush to beat the dough with excess flour, otherwise it will become tough.

Wrap the dough in cling film or bag and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

While the dough cools, cook the filling. You can add greens to taste and 1-2 crushed garlic cloves to the filling. In addition to these spices, you can add your own to taste. A similar pie can be made from any other type of meat - pork, beef or turkey.

Wash the chicken fillet, dry, cut into small pieces.

Peel and cut the potatoes into small pieces. The finer you cut the potatoes, the faster they will bake. The biggest problem with such pies is usually that the meat and dough are baked and the potatoes remain raw. Especially if you chose potatoes with a little starch. You can fix the situation by small cutting. Also, potatoes can be pre-boiled until half cooked, and then cut into pieces.

Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. If you or your children do not like onions in pies, you may not add them at all.

In a bowl, combine the chicken, potatoes and onions.

Salt everything, pepper and mix.

Separate the fourth part from the chilled dough and set aside. Roll most of the dough on a floured table into an even circle.

Place the rolled dough in an oiled baking dish (Ø 20-24cm) and form high sides.

Put the filling on the dough and flatten. Spread pieces of butter on top of the filling.

Roll out the remaining dough with a circle slightly smaller than the split shape. Place it over the filling and pinch the edges.

In the center of the pie, make a small hole for the steam outlet. If you have a little dough left, you can make a pie decoration from it - leaves, flowers, etc.

Now cook everything to lubricate the surface of the pie.

Connect the yolk to the water and whisk with a fork until smooth.

Brush the surface of the pie with a whipped yolk. Bake the kurnik at 180 ° C for about 50-60 minutes until the ruddy crust appears. If the pie has started to crust and is not yet ready inside, cover it with a double sheet of foil. Enjoy your meal!
