Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- 2
Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and light ricotta. Season well with salt, pepper and fresh herbs. Mix to combine, remove from heat and set aside.
- 3
Place the eggs, milk and olive oil in a blender. Blend briefly on medium speed until just combined and smooth.
- 4
Add the rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Blend again for about 30 seconds until you have a smooth, uniform batter.
- 5
Turn off the blender and gently fold in the baking powder using a spatula with light folding motions — do not blend again or the pie will lose its fluffiness.
- 6
Grease a baking dish (approx. 25 cm / 10 in) and dust with rolled oats. Pour in half the batter, spread the chicken filling evenly, then pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing the surface.
- 7
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool 5 minutes before slicing.
💡 Chef's Tip
Swap the chicken for canned tuna or leftover roasted vegetables for an easy variation. This pie stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days — reheat slices in the oven at 150 °C for 10 minutes.
