Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken, boneless, skinless breast
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 2 prepared pie crusts
  • 1 cup mushroom, sliced
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 12 cup small broccoli floret
  • 1 small green pepper, diced small
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 12 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 roasted red peppers, diced small
  • 14 teaspoon paprika

Method

  • In addition to the above, you'll need to choose a topping for your pies.
  • I use seasoned stuffing cubes, biscuits or buttered bread crumbs depending on what I have in the house.
  • Cook chicken in boiling water with the salt.
  • Cool, cube and reserve 1 cup of the broth.
  • Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • In a large skillet melt butter and saute broccoli, green pepper and mushrooms until starting to soften and they become tender.
  • Remove from pan, set aside and add the flour.
  • Cook until browned in the remaining butter.
  • Add reserved broth, milk and pepper whisking to blend.
  • Bring to boil and cook until thickened, about 2 more minutes.
  • Add red peppers, paprika, veggies and chicken to the pan and stir gently until heated through.
  • If you will be freezing both pies, you can just blend everything together and skip the heating process.
  • Pour into pie crusts, add your topping choice and bake 45 minutes.
  • When frozen, bake them at 350 for about 1hr 15 minutes.
  • I freeze my pies with the topping in place.
