Notes

  • Chicken: Instead of chicken, use an equal amount of shredded or cubed cooked turkey - a delicious way to use Thanksgiving leftovers!
  • Veggies: Use 2 cups of diced fresh vegetables in place of frozen veggies. Feel free to use the veggies of your choice for more variation. I like broccoli and pearl onions!
Storage: Store pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
