Creamy Blender Chicken Pie: Fluffy Batter That Melts in Your Mouth With a Juicy Filling

The blender chicken pie (torta de frango de liquidificador) is a beloved classic of Brazilian home cooking that pleases all ages. Practical, quick and budget-friendly, it is the ideal solution for afternoon snacks, family gatherings or a no-fuss dinner when time is short.

1. Fluffy, Sturdy Batter Ingredients

For a light batter that never turns heavy or gummy, the exact ratio of liquids to grated cheese makes all the difference:

• 3 large fresh eggs;
• 2 cups whole milk;
• 1/2 cup corn or sunflower oil;
• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour;
• 1.75 oz finely grated Parmesan cheese (50g);
• 1 Tbsp baking powder;
• 1 pinch of salt.

2. Moist and Creamy Shredded Chicken Filling

The secret to a juicy filling is to saute shredded chicken breast with onion, garlic, chopped ripe tomato, sweet corn and chopped green olives, finishing with fresh parsley and scallions. When assembling, spread generous spoonfuls of creamy spreadable cheese (Brazilian Catupiry-style requeijao) directly over the filling before covering with the remaining batter.

3. How to Bake It Just Right

Pour half the batter into a greased and floured baking dish, spread all the filling with the creamy cheese over it and top with the remaining batter. Sprinkle with oregano and Parmesan on top and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 35 to 40 minutes, until the surface is nicely golden.
