Ingredients

• 1 chicken breast or 1 whole chicken cut into pieces
• 1.1 lb (500g) mlinci (traditional dried flatbread pasta)
• 5 eggs
• 7.1 oz (200g) homemade cottage cheese (Schabziger / quark style)
• 0.8 cups (200ml) milk
• 3.5 oz (100g) smoked kachkaval cheese
• Dried mixed vegetables without additives (carrot, celery, parsley, onion)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for greasing and frying

Steps

1. Prepare and cut the chicken into smaller pieces, then season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the dried vegetable mix to a pot of water and bring to a boil to create a flavorful broth.
3. Heat a little oil in a skillet and briefly sear the chicken on all sides until browned, keeping it juicy on the inside.
4. Drop the mlinci into the boiling vegetable water to soften and briefly cook, then remove them.
5. In a deep bowl, beat the 5 eggs, add the cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and grated smoked kachkaval, mixing everything well into a filling.
6. Grease a baking dish with oil.
7. Layer the first row of cooked mlinci on the bottom of the baking dish.
8. Distribute a portion of the fried chicken over the mlinci.
9. Repeat the layers of mlinci and chicken until all ingredients are used.
10. Pour the prepared egg, milk, and cheese filling evenly over everything.
11. Grate a little more smoked kachkaval on top and sprinkle with parsley and pepper.
12. Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) (400°F) for about 25 to 30 minutes until nicely browned and bubbly.
13. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve warm.
