How to Make Chicken Volovan Recipe?

• To prepare volovan dough; Leave the frozen puff pastry at room temperature for 10 minutes and thaw it.
• Using a water glass or a cookie cutter, cut all the puff pastry into rings. Set aside five to use as a base.
• Re-cut the middle of the remaining 10 rounds of dough using a tea glass or a smaller cookie cutter. Take it by removing the middle parts. Thus, obtain 10 round puff pastry pieces with an empty middle part.
• Separate egg yolk and white into separate bowls. Place the five puff pastry sheets you have prepared to use in the base, onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.
• Apply egg white between them and stick the round puff pastry dough with a gap in the middle in two layers on the base parts. Prepare five three-layered doughs in total. Lightly pierce the middle parts with the tip of a fork. Brush the edges with egg yolk.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffy.
• To prepare the chicken stuffing to fill the volovans; Chop the onion into small cubes. Crush the garlic with the back of a knife and chop finely. Chop the fillet chicken breasts into large cubes. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them thinly. Drain the canned corn.
• Heat the olive oil in a wide-based pan. Sauté the onions until they get a light colour. Add garlic for flavor. Add the fillet chicken breasts and fry over high heat.
• Add mushroom slices and continue sautéing over high heat. Enrich the stuffing with canned corn and grated lemon peel. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Finally, add the cream and boil the mixture on low heat for 2-3 minutes, remove it from the stove and let it cool.
• Fill the middle parts of the three-layer dough that comes out of the oven with the filling you prepared. You will see that the dough filled with filling gradually rises.
• Continue baking the dough, sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese, in the preheated oven until the cheese melts. Share it warmly with your loved ones.
