Brazilian Chicken Pie

This is my mom's recipe, I don't know where she got this from at first, but I know all my friends and family love this recipe and always ask for more. I'm pretty sure this recipe will please the American taste as well. 


I am calling it Brazilian chicken pie, because every chicken pie that I saw here in America always comes with some sort of crust and something more similar to a chicken stew inside. In Brazil, most of our meat pies comes in a "cake" form, with no crust, but with a fluffy delicious dough.

The awesome thing about this recipe is that it may look complicated, but in fact is really simple and easy to make. What takes longer is to chop every ingredient, but once you have that ready, it may take around 20 min to put everything together.
In case you are vegetarian, this chicken pie recipe works really well with spinach instead of chicken. Or if you feel like having fish, change the chicken for tuna, it will taste amazing just the same.

Now everybody, get prepared because this recipe have so much flavor and colors that I couldn't hold myself and took a LOT of photos! Now take your knives and let's chop all this ingredients!
