Equipment

1 tablespoon
1 knife
1 chopping board
1 grater
1 baking mold
1 pot
1 frying pan
1 whisk

Ingredients

1 pc chicken fillet
250-300 g rice
200 g cheese
1 l milk
70 g butter
70 g flour
1 pc onion
2 pcs tomatoes
1 pc lavash
1 tbsp mayonnaise
ground pepper
salt

Instructions

Prepare all necessary ingredients.
Rinse the rice, salt it and boil until al dente, i.e., for about 15 minutes.
250-300 g rice
Fry the flour in butter.
70 g butter, 70 g flour
Pour cold milk into the hot butter-flour crumbs and start stirring the sauce with a whisk immediately to avoid lumps. Add salt. Heat everything on low heat to thicken the bechamel to the consistency of sour cream.
1 l milk, salt
Grease a detachable mold with butter and line it with a sheet of lavash. We neatly trim the excess, sticking out over the edge of the mold.
1 pc lavash
Mix the boiled rice with ⅔ of the cheese, grated on a coarse grater.
200 g cheese
Add half of the ready-made sauce and ground pepper to the mass.
ground pepper
Lay a layer of cheese-rice filling on the lavash.
Place pieces of slightly beaten chicken fillet on top of the rice. We slightly salt the meat, pepper it and smear it with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
1 pc chicken fillet, ground pepper, salt, 1 tbsp mayonnaise
Cut the onion into half rings and arrange on top of the meat. We leave the future pie for 10–15 minutes, so that the chicken gets a little marinated.
1 pc onion
On the meat layer, we lay out a tomato cut into thin slices. We sprinkle it with ground pepper and salt.
2 pcs tomatoes, salt, ground pepper
Add mayonnaise to the remaining béchamel, pour the sauce over the surface of the pie and bake the dish in the oven at a temperature of 160 °C for 30-40 minutes.
1 tbsp mayonnaise
10 minutes before the end of cooking, sprinkle the surface of the pie with the remnants of grated cheese to form a golden crust.
200 g cheese
If desired, sprinkle the ready pie with fresh dill. Enjoy your meal!
