Kurnik recipe with puff pastry. How to cook kurnik from puff pastry

Today I prepared chicken puff pastry with chicken, rice, pancakes and champignons. Still, chicken puff pastry has its pros and cons.

Ready-made store-bought dough simplifies the cooking process, and the chicken turns out delicious - two big advantages.

But to prevent the pie from turning out dry, you need to try to fill it with a juicy filling. To do this, I increased the amount of sour cream for greasing the pancakes, and also added onions to all layers of the filling.

Try it, cook it, I’m sure you’ll like it!

Let's prepare the products according to the list.

Boil the rice until done. I cooked in a slow cooker.

Wash the chicken fillet and chop finely. Chop the onion into half rings.

Fry the chicken with onions in oil, salt and add spices to taste.

Finely chop the champignons and onions.

Fry the mushrooms with onions separately from the chicken, add salt and pepper to taste.

Roll out one piece of puff pastry and cut out a circle, attaching a pan lid. We do not crumple the dough scraps and save them. I rolled out the dough directly on parchment, this requires less flour when rolling.

Transfer the dough piece to a baking sheet. Place rice and mushrooms for the first layer of filling. We take half of both.

Cover with a pancake and grease with 2 tbsp. sour cream.

Then we lay out the second layer of filling - chicken and onions along with the juice formed during frying.

Cover with pancake and grease with sour cream.

From the second rolled out layer of dough, cut out a circle again; it should be 3-4 cm wider in diameter. Cut out a small circle in the middle of the dough.

We will need the rest of the dough later for decorations.

Cover the filling with dough. Press the edges of the dough and pass them with a fork so that they do not open during baking.

Brush the pie with beaten egg.

Cut out any flowers or leaves from the remaining dough and decorate the pie with them. Brush the pie with egg again and set to bake.

Bake the chicken at 180 degrees until golden brown, use your oven as a guide.

Our puff pastry chicken is ready. Bon appetit!

Kurnik made from puff pastry is a traditional round pie, tasty and satisfying - a real find for any family. The peculiarity of baking is that the filling is laid out in layers, and the main layer is chicken. You can diversify the pie using different products: cheese, mushrooms.

Traditional kurnik made of puff pastry with three fillings is recommended to be prepared for a holiday table as it is quite labor-intensive for an everyday dish. Although, if the housewife is ready to pamper her loved ones every day, then this pancake pie recipe will come in handy.

How to cook classic kurnik

For a traditional kurnik, you need to prepare two types of dough and several types of filling.

Puff pastry– they will need to line the pan in which the pie will be baked. Also, this dough will become the top layer of the kurnik. Here's how to make your own puff pastry:

Sift 260 grams of flour onto a wide cutting board;
Make a well in the flour and cut 200 grams of chilled butter into it;
chop butter and flour;
Break 2 raw eggs with a fork and pour them into the flour mixture and mix the dough base;
in half a glass of cold water, stir a teaspoon of sugar and a quarter of the same spoon of salt, add a pinch of citric acid;
pour water into the base and knead elastic dough;
Divide the dough into two parts (one is a third larger than the other), wrap in film and refrigerate the balls.

Pancake batter– you will need to bake nine thin pancakes from it. It can be kneaded according to this recipe:

Beat 5 chicken yolks with 3 glasses of cold milk;
add salt (1 teaspoon) and sugar (1 tablespoon) to the yolks and milk;
add 260 grams of flour to the liquid ingredients and mix the dough;
beat 5 egg whites and fold them into the dough;
Pour 50 ml of butter, melted in a water bath, into the mixture.

Chicken filling

Describing the preparation step by step, we divide it into four stages:

finely chop 500 grams of boiled chicken meat;
melt 2 tablespoons of butter and fry 2 tablespoons of flour in it;
Pour half a glass of chicken broth into the sauce, pepper and salt it to taste;
mix chopped chicken and sauce and season the filling with fresh herbs.

Stuffed rice with egg

The rice filling is prepared simply:

Mix 1 cup of boiled fluffy rice with one boiled egg, finely chopped;
season rice with egg with a spoon of melted butter and add spices to taste (salt, pepper, dried herbs).

Mushroom filling

Mushroom filling can be prepared from either dry or fresh mushrooms. If you use dry ones, do not forget to soak and boil them in advance, after which, follow the recipe:

Fry 200 grams of fresh mushrooms in butter with one chopped onion;
Grind the mushrooms and onions in a meat grinder or puree in a blender;
salt and pepper the filling and, if it turns out to be a little dry, dilute it with a little chicken broth.

Now you need collect chicken made from puff pastry with three fillings. For this:

Grease a baking dish with oil and place on its bottom most of the puff pastry, rolled into a flat cake. Place the dough so that it hangs over the sides of the pan;
Place a third of the chicken filling on the puff pastry. Make sure that the bulk of the meat is mostly in the center;
cover the chicken filling with the first pancake;
Place a third of the rice filling on the pancake - also closer to the center;
Cover the rice with eggs with a second pancake;
fold the third pancake;
add mushroom filling.

Repeat all steps two more times. As a result, you will have a pie with nine layers (3 chicken, 3 rice, 3 mushroom). There will be a thin pancake between each layer of filling.

Place the second piece of puff pastry, rolled out into a circle, on top of this structure. Connect the dough that hangs on the sides with the dough that is on top - pinch the edges with a beautiful “rope”.

Make a small hole in the top center of the chicken pot. To do this, use a sharp knife. Do not throw away the dough itself, it will be needed to cover the hole. See the photo below to see how it looks on the finished pie.

Pour half a glass of chicken broth into the hole and cover with a lightly beaten egg.

All that remains is to bake the pie in the oven until golden and delicious.

Kurnik is a classic, in the preparation of which two types of dough and three types of filling are used - a tasty and satisfying dish. It is served hot, cut into wide pieces and seasoned with sour cream or any delicious sour cream sauce.

For a more detailed step-by-step recipe on how to make kurnik with chicken, rice and mushrooms from pancakes and puff pastry, watch the video recipe from Grandma Emma.

Despite its name, kurnik can be prepared not only with chicken meat, but also with minced pork, beef, lamb, and any other, at the discretion of the housewife. The peculiarity of this pie is the placement of the filling. The basic rule of chicken is evenly laid layers. Moreover, in some recipes, the addition of pancakes or pita bread is provided between the layers.

In a classic kurnik made from puff pastry, the filling is separated by pancakes. Therefore, before starting, you need to bake them, or buy a ready-made analogue. This will not affect the taste of the dish in any way.

puff pastry – 1 package (500 grams);

fresh dill.

Cooking steps:

If the pancakes were not purchased in advance, then first of all you need to make the dough and bake 4 pancakes. While they are cooling, you can proceed to preparing the main dish.
Since the kurnik filling is laid out in layers, each one should be kneaded in a separate bowl. The first layer will consist of finely chopped eggs, dill and butter. Mix all ingredients and add a little salt.
The second layer will be champignons, fried with onions in a heated frying pan for 20 minutes.
Check the chicken meat, remove it from the bones if necessary and chop finely.

There are a huge number of types of baked goods with savory filling. We'll talk about chicken. What kind of dish is this?

Kurnik is a rather old Russian dish; it is a pie with meat inside. It was originally made with chicken.

By the way, the pie got its name thanks to the meat of this bird. But over time, filling became more difficult.

Today, in addition to meat, the contents of a delicious pie can also include other ingredients, such as mushrooms, rice, cheese, and potatoes. We will look at the recipe for kurnik with chicken and potatoes below.

Recipe for a delicious kurnik with chicken and aromatic potatoes

In general, chicken pie is much easier on the stomach than other meats. For those who are preparing chicken for the first time, it is best to use chicken.

This recipe uses a version of the pie with kefir dough.

And for good reason, because this type of dough has many advantages: it does not go stale for a long time, is easily digestible, and has fewer calories than yeast dough, for example.

So, here's what you'll need to prepare chicken:

Flour (as much as the dough requires);
Kefir - 250 ml;
1 package of butter (margarine is possible);
Half a teaspoon of salt;
Half a teaspoon of soda.;
Half a kilogram of chicken meat;
3-4 potatoes;
5 pieces. onions;
Salt, spices, ground black pepper.

Now we will describe in detail all the stages of preparing a delicious chicken chicken with potatoes and chicken according to the recipe with visual photos.

The dough for our kurnik can be kneaded quite simply and quickly. First, add a small pinch of soda to the kefir, then heat the butter (or margarine) in a metal container until it is soft but not liquid.

Then all this needs to be mixed until smooth. Then leave the resulting dough in a plastic bag for 1.5-2 hours at a temperature of 15-20°C.

Now let's start filling. Wash and peel the vegetables, chop them, cut the chicken into small pieces.

Then you need to lay out the rolled out dough on a baking sheet, pre-greased with oil, or a special form. The filling is usually laid out in layers:

Lightly peppered and salted chicken;
Potatoes, salt, pepper;
Pieces of butter.

But if the cook wants to mix the contents, the taste will not suffer much from this.

You can decorate with various dough figures, as shown in the photo.

Then you need to place the baking sheet with the chicken in a hot oven and wait until the crust browns.

After this, all that remains is to take out the finished chicken and, for beauty, grease it with sunflower oil or egg.
