Our dessert today is a hearty pie that combines the delicate flavors of chicken with the sweetness of carrots and the freshness of peas, all wrapped in a flaky and fluffy dough. This simple pie recipe is perfect for family meals and will surely bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones.

Ingredients for the dough:
- 500 g flour
- 250 ml warm water
- 100 ml sunflower oil
- 1 packet of dry yeast (7 g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar

Ingredients for the filling:
- 300 g chicken breast
- 2 medium carrots
- 150 g peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 small celery (or 2-3 stalks of celery)
- 1 large onion
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg (for brushing)

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center and add the dry yeast. Pour in the warm water and sunflower oil. Mix the ingredients with a spatula until the dough begins to form.

2. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. Cover it with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.

3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Cut the chicken breast into small cubes. Peel the carrots and slice them thinly, and chop the celery into small cubes. Finely chop the onion.

4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the onion. Sauté until it becomes translucent, then add the chicken breast. Sauté the chicken until it is lightly browned.

5. Add the carrots and celery to the skillet. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften. Finally, add the peas, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer for a few minutes until the peas are cooked. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

6. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts. Roll out the first part on a floured surface, forming a sheet the size of the baking dish you will use for the pie.

7. Place the dough sheet in the baking dish, add the chicken and vegetable filling, then roll out the second dough sheet on top. Seal the edges of the pie, and with a knife, make a few cuts on the top to allow steam to escape.

8. Beat the egg and brush the pie with it for a golden and appetizing crust. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the pie for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown.

9. Once the pie is baked, let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm, alongside a fresh green salad or yogurt sauce.

Serving suggestion: You can add a fresh and aromatic touch with a few basil or parsley leaves on top of the pie before serving.

Possible variations: Replace the chicken breast with turkey or even a mix of vegetables for a vegetarian option. You can also add spices like cumin or curry for an extra flavor boost.

This pie with love will not only delight your taste buds but will also bring a warm and welcoming atmosphere to your home. Whether you prepare it for a special occasion or just for a family dinner, it is definitely a dish that will be remembered!
