TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

The trick is not adding more binder. Dry the cooked chicken, process it finely, then press the mixture thinly between baking paper. A second bake after flipping removes the last trapped moisture.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Dry the chicken

Heat the oven to 220°C. Spread chicken loosely on a lined tray and bake for 8 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.

Make a tacky mixture

Pulse chicken, egg, Parmesan and salt in a processor until the mixture clumps but still shows fine fibres.

Press it imperfectly thin

Press between two sheets of baking paper into a rough 28 cm oval, about 6 mm thick. Leave the edge naturally uneven.

Bake both sides

Remove the top paper and bake for 13 minutes. Flip onto clean paper and bake for 6 to 8 minutes more until the rough edge is deep gold.
