- You could slice the chicken in very thin stripes form the beginning before cooking, however after sauteing it is much easier.
- You could even use homemade dough for your pie. in this case, use two pastry sheets on the bottom, two on the top and one in the middle.
- By replacing the chicken with soy or removing it from the recipe completely, you can turn it completely vegetarian.
- Enrich the recipe by usinf more vegetables such as zuchinnis, eggplant, broccoli or cauliflower.
- Use feta cheese or bleu cheese instead of graviera.
- Let it rest and cool before cutting and serving it.
- You could prepare single muffins and serve them in a buffet or take them to work/school as a a snack.
It's a delicious pie that can also be part of your menu when organizing an Adult birthday party.
