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!
