kitchen Tips
Special Extra:
Cover edge of pie crust with strip of foil for the last 15 min. of the baking time to prevent it from browning too much.
Shortcut:
Omit the oil. Prepare using a rotisserie chicken purchased from your supermarket. Remove chicken from the bones, then chop or shred it. Substitute 3 cups chopped chicken for the cooked cut-up chicken breasts, then, continue as directed.
Variation:
Omit the oil. Substitute 1 lb. lean ground beef for the chicken.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve with a mixed green salad and glass of fat-free milk.
