Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (or 3 large boneless chicken breasts)
• 1 can (10.5 oz.) cream of chicken soup
• 1 ½ soup cans of chicken broth (use the empty soup can to measure)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 frozen 9-inch pie crusts, thawed
• 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

• Cook the Chicken

  Place the chicken in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Let it cook thoroughly until tender. Once done, remove the chicken (but save the cooking liquid!), let it cool, then chop or shred the meat.
• Make the Filling

  In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, broth, salt, and pepper. Add the shredded chicken and mix until well combined.
• Assemble the First Layer

  Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread half of the chicken mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
• Add the First Crust Layer

  Cut one of the pie crusts into strips and layer them over the filling. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Bake the First Round

  Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes until the crust starts to set.
• Add the Second Layer

  Remove the dish from the oven and spread the remaining chicken mixture over the baked crust
• Top with the Final Crust

  Lay the remaining pie crust strips over the top and dot again with the remaining butter.
• Bake Until Golden

  Return to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks

Short on time? Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.

Want a crispy crust? Brush the top with a little melted butter before baking.

Feeling creative? Add a sprinkle of garlic powder or a dash of smoked paprika for extra flavor.

This is comfort food at its finest—simple, satisfying, and made with love. Enjoy every bite!
