- 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: Ensure the baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking. - 2
For the filling: In a skillet, heat annatto oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic until softened.
- 3
Add the shredded cooked chicken, chopped cilantro, and chicken broth to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: You can use leftover cooked chicken or poach chicken breasts specifically for this recipe. - 4
For the corn batter: In a blender, combine corn kernels, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Blend until mostly smooth, leaving some texture if desired.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: If using fresh corn, you may need to add a little more milk to achieve a blendable consistency. - 5
Pour the blended corn mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the baking powder.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: Do not overmix after adding baking powder. - 6
Pour half of the corn batter into the prepared baking dish.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: Spread evenly. - 7
Spoon the chicken filling evenly over the corn batter.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out. - 8
Pour the remaining corn batter over the chicken filling, ensuring it is completely covered.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: Gently spread to cover the filling. - 9
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
ð¡ ããã®ã³ã: The center should be firm and set. - 10
Let the pastel de milho cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set properly.
