I don’t know about you, but I love savory pies. They are versatile and great any time of the day. The savory pies are one of my multiple solutions for comfort foods that are easy to make, even during the week, when everyone is busy and running around.
This wonderful cheesy chicken pie with mushrooms is a complete meal by itself and requires very little preparation.
Here are some ideas to come up with the cooked chicken:
* Roast a chicken and use the meat for the pie.
* Boil 1-2 chicken breasts in water for 25-30 minutes. Remove the meat from the water, let cool, then shred it using two forks.
* Have a big Thanksgiving meal and wrap the leftover turkey meat for later use.(like making this pie)
* Buy a roasted chicken from the grocery store and call it a day.
No matter what you use, this is the perfect comfort food for the entire family. Enjoy!
