Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen vegetables, thawed and drained
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 15-ounce package), at room temperature
Directions
  1. 1

    Remove skin from chicken and discard. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Preheat oven to 425F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in broilerproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with salt and thyme. Cook and stir 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in vegetables, undiluted soup and wine; simmer about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    While soup mixture is simmering, unwrap 1 pie crust. Using small cookie cutter, make several decorative cut-outs from pastry to allow steam to escape.

  4. 4

    Remove chicken mixture from heat; top with pie crust. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Brush pie crust with 2 teaspoons melted butter. Arrange cut-outs over crust, if desired. Brush cut-outs with remaining 1 teaspoon melted butter.

  5. 5

    Bake pie 12 minutes. Turn oven to broil; broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source 2 minutes or until crust is golden brown and chicken mixture is bubbly. Serve immediately.

Grandma knew the value of a well-stocked freezer. She kept it filled with basic ingredients like beef, chicken and a variety of packaged vegetables ready to use in recipes just like this one.
