Chicken Pie

Chicken Pie is a regular recipe in our household, pretty much since we got married. This recipe came from my sister Mary, and it came from her friend Carley. I don't know where Carley found the recipe!

It is so simple. The only "hard" thing is cooking the chicken!

There are 4 main ingredients (plus salt & pepper):

- 1 to 2 pounds chicken, whatever pieces you like, cooked and cut into 1" or 2" (inch) pieces

- two 10 oz packages frozen vegetables (this is your choice... we like bell pepper & onion)

- half-a-jar of Alfredo Sauce (I buy Classico Light)

- two pie crusts (from the frozen foods section)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the pie crusts on the counter to thaw (leave them in the foil pans).

Cook the chicken in a skillet. Add salt & pepper while cooking.

While chicken is cooking, thaw the frozen vegetables by putting them into a colander, turning on the faucet as hot as it will go, and let the hot water "rain" on the veggies in the sink. Shake them around pretty well after the hot water thaws them.

Once vegetables are thawed, put them in a big mixing bowl. Pour the alfredo sauce over until covered (from 1/2 to whole jar). Stir it up. Add some pepper.

Once the chicken is cooked (cut it up if you haven't yet), pour it into the bowl with vegetables and sauce. Stir it up really really well.

Pour the chicken/veggie/alfredo sauce mixture into the "bottom" pie crust. It works well to have a cookie sheet underneath! Layer the "top" pie crust over it all.

Cook in the oven 20-30 minutes (make sure the top pie crust is golden).
