Kurnik is one of the varieties of Russian pie, distinguished by a variety of fillings and dough. Some nations have similar pies with a different name. The traditional kurnik is made in several layers with various fillings: pork, chicken, duck, potatoes, buckwheat porridge, millet, goose. The dough can be either rich, or yeast or puff. And some craftswomen make it even easier - batter. Such a dough is very good because it makes the cake homogeneous, not allowing the filling to crumble on the sides. Kids will love it!

Favorite stuffing

Potato with meat is a favorite combination of most Russians. Well, a pie with such a filling is loved by both adults and children. Meat can be almost anything: chicken, pork, duck or goose. The difference is only in taste and cooking time. For a lazy chicken, the most suitable combination is potatoes + onions + chicken fillet. Such a cake will be very tender and juicy, which is very important for children.

Quickdough

In order for your dough to blend perfectly with the filling, there is a little secret: add mayonnaise to both components of the future chicken coop. Mayonnaise goes well with chicken fillet, the filling of a lazy chicken will be very juicy. For the test, you need very few products, they are always in almost every refrigerator. This is:

• mayonnaise (preferably on a quail egg) - one hundred grams;
• sour cream (preferably homemade or high fat) - one hundred grams;
• soda - half a teaspoon;
• s alt - to your taste;
• chicken eggs (large) - two pieces, if quail - eight;
• flour - one faceted glass (250 grams).

Delicate stuffing

In order to achieve a tender texture, chicken fillet must first be boiled in water, adding a couple of leaves of parsley. A word of advice: never add s alt to the water when boiling chicken meat until it is fully cooked. S alt will make the most tender fillet much tougher.

Ingredients:

• chicken breast - one (large);
• potatoes - four pieces (large size);
• a small onion;
• vegetable oil - two dessert spoons;
• spices - to taste (it is advisable to add black pepper for piquancy and mayonnaise for a delicate taste).

Cooking a jellied pie

Lazy kurnik start cooking from the filling. To do this, pre-boil the fillet, using the advice. Cut the finished meat into strips, sprinkle with s alt and pepper. Meatadd chopped onion and mix well. This is so that the fillet is soaked with onion juice and becomes even softer. Cut the washed and peeled potatoes into strips, the thickness of which should not be more than meat. We combine the ingredients, add mayonnaise if desired and mix again. Don't forget to taste it!

Grease a baking sheet with oil, and then there are two cooking options. The first is to sprinkle the bottom with breadcrumbs if you want a crispy bottom. The second option is to pour some dough for a uniform bottom layer. Then lay out the filling, without touching the sides. Pour the top layer slowly so that the batter seeps into all the cracks of the filling.

Before baking, preheat the oven to 180 degrees. We put the baking sheet in the oven and note the time. Exactly 35 minutes later, a golden crust should appear on your chicken coop, as soon as you notice it, take out the cake and cover with foil. Put it back - the chicken should reach, steam. Wait another twenty minutes and turn off the oven. After half an hour, take out your lazy chicken coop and call everyone to the table.

A few tricks:

2. You can add chopped greens to the filling for better taste and he alth benefits.
3. For lovers of spicy: if grated cheese is added to the dough, an unusual taste will appear and the consistency will be more plastic.
