Servings and Timing:
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
For the “Dough”:
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 14 ounces or 400 grams)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 to 3 eggs (adjust for desired consistency)
1 ½ ounces shredded light mozzarella cheese (40 grams)
Oregano to taste
Salt to taste
Garlic powder or freshly grated garlic to taste
Black pepper to taste (optional)
For Topping:
1 ½ ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Oregano (optional, for garnish)
Garlic (optional, for additional flavor)
Instructions:
Cook and Shred the Chicken:
First, cook the chicken in water without any salt or seasonings. Once cooked, shred it or cut it into small pieces to make processing easier.
Prepare the Dough:
In a food processor or blender, combine the shredded chicken, olive oil, 1 egg, salt, garlic, and black pepper (if using). Blend until the mixture forms a homogeneous, pasty dough.
If the dough is too thick or dry, adjust by adding another egg or a bit more olive oil until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Preheat your oven to 356 °F (180 °C).
Grease a glass dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking.
Assemble and Bake the Dough:
Transfer the dough into the glass dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to form a thin layer (this will make it crispier).
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dough is firm and golden around the edges.
Add the Topping:
Remove the dish from the oven and top with shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic, and oregano (or other herbs of your choice).
Gratinate:
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Finish and Serve:
Allow the dish to cool briefly before cutting into portions.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Important Notes:
Dough Consistency: Ensure the dough is pasty and pliable. Adjust the consistency with more eggs or olive oil if needed.
Customization: Feel free to add additional seasonings or herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary. You can also enrich the dough with chia or flaxseeds.
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
