2 cups of cooked and shredded chicken, 1 cup of diced celery, 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– Dried thyme, measuring 1 teaspoon
Two ingredients: pepper and salt to taste; and one cup of crumbled cheddar cheese.
1. One pie crust, either homemade or store-bought. 2. Half a cup of slivered almonds or crushed potato chips, to top with.
How to Follow
Let the celebration begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Second, in a big bowl, mix together the chicken, celery, onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and thyme. Add salt and pepper according to your taste after tasting a bit.
3. Add the cheddar cheese and stir it up with the chicken mixture. Let it become friendly.
Step 4: Carefully press the pie dough into a pie dish that measures 9 inches in diameter. Indulge your inner seductress by giving the edges a little crimp.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the pie shell by spooning it in.
6. Now is the time to unleash your creativity – for an impressive crunch, top with slivered almonds or crushed potato chips, whichever you choose.
7. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it begins to bubble and become a gorgeous golden color.
8. After a few minutes, let it aside to cool before cutting. Have patience, my buddy; the wait will be worthwhile.
Different kinds
If you’d prefer a different taste profile, try using mozzarella or pepper jack instead of the cheese.
– A Toss in some chopped kale or spinach if you’re feeling really healthy.
– A Missing sour cream? Of course. For a healthy alternative, try Greek yogurt.
– A Instead of using pie crust, you may bake the filling in a buttered pie plate for a low-carb alternative. Enjoy all the deliciousness without feeling guilty.
– A Never put the filling into the pie crust without first tasting it. You need to get the seasoning spot on.
Though filling on its own, this pie would be perfect with a side of steamed vegetables or a refreshing green salad for a lighter dinner. Serve it with a bowl of hot soup or roasted potatoes if you’re a total comfort food fan. This comforting Baked Chicken Salad Pie will be a hit regardless of your choice. Have fun!
