Chicken Pie with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
A rich and appetizing pie. Sun-dried tomatoes give it a special flavor, although they can be replaced with regular tomatoes (the taste will change). Chicken fillet can be replaced with turkey fillet. To make the dough tender, I recommend using only egg yolks and making meringues from the whites.
