Flower shaped chicken pie

This is a very nice recipe for an unusual chicken pie. It comes from Eastern Europe and it is a perfect addition to any special meal like Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter. It is also very easy to make, cheap, and it doesn’t take too long to cook.
On top of the great taste and all the advantages I already mentioned it looks great on the table. Try it and expect the guests to ask for details and the recipe. It goes perfectly with a cool white wine.
