Chicken lattice Pie with palm hearts ( Pastel de pollo y palmitos)









For my taste this has been one of the most delicious recipes of the last time.
Chicken Tart with hearts of palm.
For the rest, if someone does not want hearts of palm, it's okay not  add them.
I love  chicken tarts. And the crust is absolutely delicious.
Also this cake can be made with another filling.
