Mama’s Chicken Pie

This is one of our favorite chicken pies. When my son would come home from a tour of duty as a Marine, this is the one thing he requested to eat every time.

Cook time: 55 Min

Prep time: 50 Min

Serves: 4-5

Ingredients

1 whole chicken or 3 large boneless breasts

1 can cream of chicken soup, 10.5 oz.

1 1/2 soup cans of chicken broth (using the cream of chicken soup can)

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 frozen 9″ pie crust, thawed

Directions

1. Place the chicken in a pot and cover with water, bring to a boil and cook thoroughly. Remove the chicken (save the cooking liquid), let cool and then chop up the meat.
