Hi I have a frozen pie crust that I want to use before Pesach. I thought I could make some sort of pie with the cooked chicken pieces from chicken soup.

Would like to keep the calories as low as possible, so we can enjoy without feeling guilty.

I have plenty veg (carrots, mushrooms, etc etc)

any ideas anyone?

thanks as always

Just make a regular chicken pot pie filling recipe.

1 small onion
2 Tbsp oil
cut up vegetables
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup soy milk
cut up chicken
salt and pepper to taste

Saute onions and vegetables. Sprinkle in flour and mix. Add stock and soy milk and stir until thickened. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Pour into pie shell. Bake.

you prob will only want to use part of the filling, unless it's a deep dish.

You will need some dough on top if you want the top to be crispy.
You might also want to make the filling very thick and not liquidy.

You could also top the pie with mashed potatoes/cauliflower (for you low-carb types). That's what I make when I do not want to make another crust (or a two crust pie) from scratch. The potatoes/cauliflower will get crispy if you give it a little spray with oil before cooking. It is yum!

You can either use 2 pie crusts & put one on top of the filled one or pour the mixture into a 9" casserole dish, defrost the pic crust. Roll it into a ball. Roll it out & put on top & bake.

bake the bottom crust for a little bit before you pour the mixture in, it'll keep the bottom crust from getting as mushy.

Thanks all for your tips

It was a great success, DH loved it!

I baked the bottom pie crust and partially covered the top (I used the mini crusts for that, but didn't have enough to cover completely).
I brushed with egg.
put in a little chicken soup and a small spoon of mayonaise to give it a creamy texture.
used just onions and mushrooms.

thanks so much again
