Here’s another tasty recipe creation I made for the Saucy Mama Recipe Contest. In the end, I decided to enter my Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Stuffed with Sweet Heat Ribs in the contest instead but this recipe was a close second! It’s a fun take on chicken salad but baked in a pie shell and topped with cheese! Like a quiche, you just mix all the ingredients together and bake! It was a delicious, simple week night dinner for my family and a recipe I am sure I will create again and again.

- 1/2 cup shredded cheese I like Cheddar or Mixed
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine all pie ingredients. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread into a thawed pie crust on top of a baking sheet.

- After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over the pie.

You can cook your chicken any way you would like but I prefer poaching skinless chicken breasts in a pot of simmering chicken broth. Let boil until it pulls apart easily and is cooked through.
Remove the chicken to a cutting board and chop or shred.
Or one of my favorite shortcuts is to add the chicken to a food
processor and it will shred it in seconds!
The sauce base of this recipe is Saucy Mama’s Honey Dijon Dressing, Duke’s Mayonnaise, and cream cheese.
Three of my very favorites!
