Savory Crust Chicken Pie

As I begin the process of getting all of SP's recipes up, I figured I should bump this one back up to the top so it is together with all the rest. I also think this is the first recipe to introduce one of our favorite cooking additives: lemon pepper! The first time I ate this, SP had made several pies for our family when our Mom died. He brought one fresh out of the oven and one ready for the freezer. It keeps well in the freezer and reheats nicely for convenient suppers. Enjoy - a family favorite the kids will love!

Ingredients:
Filling:
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup red pepper
1/2 cup green pepper
2 Tablespoons butter
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
generous shakes of lemon pepper
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup

Crust
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter softened
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 Teaspoon baking powder
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon dried sage


Process:
Preheat oven 400 degrees.
Cook chicken. Add generous shakes of lemon pepper.



When chicken is cooked, add the vegetables.

When vegetables have cooked about 10 minutes, add the can of soup. Continue stirring as mixture heats.

While mixture cooks, combine crust ingredients in a mix master or by hand.
Fold crust into baking dish - a round ceramic type - and press generous amounts of crust up onto sides of pan.

When chicken mix is finished cooking, fold into pan lined with crust.

Cover open center with the shredded cheese.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving!

YUMMY!
