  • 1 Whole chicken, cooked, de-boned, and chopped Any type of cooked chicken will be just fine
  • 4 Pre-made pie crusts 1 box has 2 crusts

Instructions

  • Remove pie crusts from fridge while preparing and cooking the filling

Filling

  • In a 6qt Dutch oven, melt ghee on medium heat.
  • Add the onion, carrot, and celery and saute till soft, but not brown.
  • Add the minced garlic and saute for additional minute.
  • Add seasonings, bay leaves, frozen veggies, and broth. Stir and cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Mix nutritional yeast, and cornstarch with coconut aminos and water (add more if necessary so that mixture is not a paste) then add to veggies.
  • Gently fold in chicken, Parmesan, and beans. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Assembling the Pies

  • Follow box directions for rolling out the crust into pie plates
  • Scoop filling evenly into each pie plate
  • Top pies with the other 2 crusts. Mash edges together and cut slits in the top to vent.

Baking

  • Place pies on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30-35, or until pie crusts are golden and the filling is bubbly.

Notes

The recipe for the filling makes a double batch. I will either make two pies to feed friends. OR! I will freeze the remaining filling for another day. One pie should serve 4 people.
