A tasty and simple to cook chicken pastel using readily available ingredients which you can find in your local supermarket. It required no baking and no need to top it with pastry crust. That is why it is a Pinoy style chicken pastel. Although this is a Pinoy style, we tried to use dried Chinese mushroom which makes this dish taste better that using canned button mushrooms. I also think the Vienna sausage is a must for this chicken pastel dish but some are using hotdogs which is quite okay. But I think using chicken hotdog is better because it mimics the Vienna sausage in color and texture than the red colored hotdogs.
