chicken pie (not with vegetables, except onions)
(2 ratings)
In 1974, one job I had before I obtained my degree in Health Information Management, was working as secretary-bookkeeper at a school in Summerton, SC. We all shared recipes. One of the teachers gave us this delicious Chicken Pie recipe. It is easy and always gets rave reviews. I have made it regularly over the last thirty-nine years (WOW that’s a long time!!). It was my son’s favorite chicken pie until he became a vegetarian about 12 years ago. Now, I make a vegetable version for him. I will post my "Never-Fail" pie crust recipe or you can use an already prepared one;love a good crust

How To Make chicken pie (not with vegetables, except onions)
-
1Simmer chicken in water with bouillon cubes, salt and pepper*. (Have water almost to top of chicken.) Cook until meat falls off bones; let cool and de-bone. *If you desire, you can cook the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze and thaw before putting the pie all together.
-
2Cover bottom of casserole dish with pastry (I use a 13"x8"x2" baking pan,). Put in chicken and liquid. * I usually bake the bottom crust about 7-10 minutes before adding the chicken and liquid -this assures the crust is done and won't be soggy or gummy.
-
3Top with sliced boiled eggs*, chopped onions, salt and pepper. Pour chicken soup over this, and top with pats of butter. *Some people don’t like boiled eggs. These can be left out without hindering the flavor.
-
4Put rest of pastry on top and press along sides to bottom crust. Prick top of crust with fork. Cook about 1 hour at 375 degrees.
-
5Cut into 8-12 squares (depending whether you serve it alone, with a salad and/or a vegetable) and serve. This is a rich and filling pie. I usually serve it with marinated cole slaw and a green vegetable. However, it is a meal in itself.
-
6Leftovers can be saved (in freezer) as individual slices and reheated later.

7Enjoy a slice of Chicken Pie!

8NOTE: You can use any crust for the pie; however, I always use my Never-Fail Pie Crust (I'll post it.)for this recipe, as well as for other pies. It is very easy, flaky and really makes the pie. It makes 5 regular sized pie crusts (It will take 3/5 of the recipe -3 crusts for this large pie). Your can refrigerate or freeze the left over crusts until you are ready to use them.
