  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or fresh?)
  • smidgen of black pepper
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of celery seed
  • 3 Tbsp grated parmigan cheese

Instructions

  • Boil chicken breast until whitish and rubbery (15min or so).

  • Grease the casserole dish with butter.

  • Drain carrots and peas.

  • Mix everything well together in a bowl except for chicken and pie crust.

  • Take the first pie crust, place on the bottom of the casserole dish.

  • Drain chicken, pad it dry, dice into small cubes/chunks.

  • Mix chicken in with the rest of the ingredients in the bowl.

  • Cover the first pie crust in the casserole dish with about 1/2 mixture.

  • Place 2nd pie crust on top of the mixture.

  • Cover the 2nd pie crust with the rest of the mixture.

  • Use 3rd pie crust to cover the mixture - make sure to press around the edges to make it smooth.

  • Cover with casserole glass lid.

  • Preheat oven to 350F.

  • Cook for 1 1/2 hours.

  • At 1h mark, take a look - the top should be bubbling and slightly brown.

  • The top should be golden brown when done.

  • Feel free to take off the glass cover to brown the top.

  • Note: You can also bake for 1h at 375F but make sure to boil the chicken a bit longer in water beforehand and take the glass top off 10min before finishing.
