Add the filling in half and with the help of a rolling pin, roll out a little of the dough, cut into circles with a glass and cover the molds, squeezing the edges well.
Finally, mix the egg yolk with the oil and brush on top of the chicken pie, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C, for approximately 35 minutes or until golden.
