How to make Pie in Goiás:

To make this Goiana chicken pie, start by preparing the stuffing: place a frying pan with the oil over medium heat, and saute the onion there. When it is transparent, add the tomatoes and the broth tablet, stir and cook until the tomatoes wilt.

The ingredients to add next are meat and the green smell. Mix and lightly fry the meat. Then turn off the heat, add the cream cheese and cream, mix everything and season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool.

While the filling cools, prepare the pie dough: in a large bowl mix all the ingredients (reserve one of the yolks to brush the dough at the end) with your hands, for a few minutes, until it does not stick.

Tip: If the dough takes a long time to come off, add a little more flour.

Then form a ball with the dough and divide in two, one of which must correspond to 1/3 of the amount of the initial ball. Roll out the larger ball with a rolling pin, cut into circles and line the molds with it, leaving some dough left over, as in the photo.

Also open the smaller ball of dough and cut into circles, which will match the lid of the chicken pies.

When the filling is cold, mix it with the grated mozzarella. Fill the pies and cover with the dough circles, closing the edges well with the dough. Brush with the reserved yolk (you can also sprinkle some cheese and oregano).

Tip: At this stage you can also add to the filling other ingredients that do not need to be fired, such as corn, olives, etc.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200ºC until the dough is golden. Remove, let cool and enjoy this homemade Goiano pie recipe. Enjoy your food!
