We bought a slow cooker. I have never cooked with a slow cooker before so I tried to make a whole chicken as my first attempt. Well, it turned out overcooked, the meat got too tender! So I decided to make a chicken pie with it. Peas, tomatoes, eggs from the farm. The best brand of hearts of palm I can find here is the organic "Native Forest".
Chicken pie is an almost weekly dish at my parent’s house in Brazil. I don’t have a recipe for it, sorry. Briefly: saute onion and garlic in olive oil, add the tomato sauce (not too much) and chicken, some tomato paste, peas, heart of palm, parsley, Tabasco, salt, pepper, boiled eggs. I bought the bottom part of the pie but I made an oil pastry for the top. 2/3 cup flour, 3 tablespoons oil (I used evoo), a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons milk. Use two wax paper sheets to open the dough. It was easy and it turned out flaky and tasty.
I've been invited to have the Chicken Pie tomorrow! Hurray!! :)
