Romanian plăcințele with chicken and cheese

Ingredients

For the filling

• 400 g chicken breast
• 1500 ml water
• 150 g kashkaval cheese
• 3 bunches green onions (green tops only)

For the dough

• 200 g yogurt 2.5%
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 150 g kashkaval cheese
• 275 g flour

For frying

• 2 tablespoons oil

Preparation

1. Put the chicken breast in 1500 ml water and simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove it from the water and let it cool for 20 minutes. 2. Cut the chicken into small pieces. Mix it with 150 g finely grated kashkaval cheese and the chopped green onion tops. 3. In a bowl, mix the yogurt with the salt, baking soda and sugar. Stir in 150 g finely grated kashkaval cheese and the flour, then knead until you have a soft dough. 4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece out, put the filling in the middle and bring the edges toward the center. 5. Flatten each plăcintă a little, then fry it in a ceramic frying pan in 2 tablespoons of oil, for 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Do the same with the rest.
