Fried Pies with Chicken and Cheese

Make the dough. Place the flour (150 g) in a bowl, add a pinch of salt and one tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Pour in 150 ml of boiling water.

Mix thoroughly with a spoon until smooth. Let the dough cool completely.

Cut the meat off the leg quarter and chop it into pieces.

Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

Finely chop the green onions.

In a bowl, combine the cheese, sour cream, egg, green onions, and a pinch of salt.

Mix together.

Shape the pies. Lightly flour the work surface and turn out all the dough with a spoon. Knead briefly on the surface, adding flour as needed, until the dough no longer sticks to your hands.

Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a thin circle about 12 cm in diameter.

Place one-sixth of the chicken onto one half of the circle and season with salt.

Top with one-sixth of the cheese mixture.

Fold into a half-moon shape and press the edges closed with a fork.

Heat vegetable oil well in a skillet. Add the pies and fry until golden brown on the bottom.

Flip and fry until golden brown on the other side. Then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover with a lid, and cook for 5–10 minutes until fully cooked through.

Serve the fried pies hot.
