Instructions
In a skillet, brown the bacon until it renders its fat and becomes golden.
Dica: Rendering the bacon fat is an important process.
Add the onion to the sauté and cook until translucent.
Add the cooked (unseasoned) chicken, diced tomatoes, oregano, black pepper, and celery seed or pieces.
Dica: Use a generous amount of oregano.
Adjust the seasoning of the filling for salt and mix all the sautéed ingredients well.
Incorporate the chopped olives (including a little of the brine liquid) and the can of corn into the filling.
Dica: Corn is optional but recommended.
Finish the filling by adding parsley, scallions, or both (fresh herbs), mix, and set aside.
Dica: The fresh herbs will add color and flavor.
Prepare the shortcrust pastry by mixing 1kg of flour, 500g of lard, two eggs, and salt, until you have a dough that holds together firmly when squeezed.
Dica: It is crucial to use lard for this pastry recipe.
Roll out the dough thinly and line the bottom and sides of a baking dish (like a Pyrex/casserole dish).
Dica: You don't need to press the dough too firmly on the bottom, as it is naturally more crumbly.
Spread the chicken filling over the dough base in the baking dish.
Cover the filling generously with the 'homemade creamy cheese spread' (cream cheese spread).
Dica: The creaminess of the cheese spread is essential for moisture.
Use the remaining dough to completely cover the pot pie or create lattice strips. Make light cuts on the surface for decoration.
Dica: Cutting the dough into strips also looks visually appealing.
Decorate the top crust with three additional balls of dough to give a final charm.
Whisk one egg and brush the entire surface of the dough to ensure it browns nicely during baking.
Bake the pot pie in a preheated oven until the crust is deeply golden brown.
