Broccolipaj med kyckling

Jag överdriver inte när jag säger att det här är en rätt som jag lagat sedan jag gick i högstadiet! Testade en gång för skojs skull att göra broccolipaj och mamma älskade den och nu även min man haha. Receptet har såklart förändrats och förbättrats genom åren och den jag gör idag är med kyckling och ibland även curry om jag känner för det. Receptet räcker till 4 personer eller 1 person om det är min man som äter 😉

I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is a dish that I cooked since I was in high school! I tested it once for fun to make broccoli quiche and my mom loved it and now my husband too haha. The recipe has obviously changed and improved over the years and today I make it with chicken and sometimes even curry if I feel like it. Serves 4 people or one person if it’s my husband who eats ;)

Ingredients (dough):
125g cold butter
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons flaxseed
2 tablespoons cold water

Do this:
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius.
2. Chop together butter, flour and flaxseed. Add the water and work quickly into a dough.
3. Roll the dough into a ball and place in a plastic bag. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
4. Press the dough into a pie dish and cover the edges with aluminum foil. Prick the bottom gently with a fork and pre-bake in oven for about 10 minutes.

Ingredients (filling):
200 g chicken fillet
250 g broccoli
1 leek
1 tablespoon butter

Do this:
1. Divide the broccoli and cook for a few minutes in salted water.
2. Chop the leek finely and cut the chicken into cubes of about 1×1 cm.
2. Fry the leeks and chicken together in butter. The chicken should not be done without just getting a little color and leeks should be soft. Remove from heat.
3. Add chicken, leek and broccoli in pie shell.

Ingredients (casserole):
3 large eggs
0,75 cups of milk or red matgrädde
1 cup grated cheese
salt & pepper
optionally curry

Do this:
1. Whisk together all the ingredients to the egg mixture and pour over the chicken and broccoli.
2. Bake the pie in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes. The filling should no longer be loose and have a nice golden color.
