Quick chicken and pea pie - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the chicken with turkey or another protein?

Yes, you can easily substitute chicken with diced turkey, leftover cooked chicken, or even browned ground meat. Adjust cooking time slightly to ensure the protein is heated through.

I don't have chicken broth. What can I use instead?

Vegetable broth or even water mixed with a bouillon cube (chicken or vegetable flavor) will work as a substitute for chicken broth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

How long can I store leftover chicken pie in the refrigerator?

Leftover chicken pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

Can I freeze the unbaked chicken pie?

What's the best way to reheat leftover chicken pie?

For best results, reheat the pie in a preheated oven at 175 degrees. Cover loosely with foil to prevent excessive browning. You can also microwave individual portions, but the crust may not be as crispy.

I'm short on time, can I use pre-made pie crust?

Absolutely! Using pre-made pie crust is a great time-saver. Simply follow the recipe instructions for filling and baking with the pre-made crust.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

To make this recipe vegetarian, replace the chicken with firm tofu or a hearty vegetable like butternut squash or sweet potato. Consider adding more mushrooms and other vegetables for a filling vegetarian pie.

What can I serve with the Chicken and Pea Pie?

A simple green salad complements the richness of the pie. You could also serve it with steamed green beans or roasted vegetables for a more complete meal.
