Place Chicken, water, wine and bouillon cubes in a medium pan. Bring to a boil, lower heat and cook gently, uncovered for 15minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Set aside one cup of broth and chop chicken into chunks.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a deep 8 inch pie dish with cooking spray.

So our changes are as follows: We couldn't find Phyllo dough and we wanted to make our own pie crust so we used the following recipe for a pie crust from ALLRECIPES Pie Crust:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half, and shape into balls. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Roll out dough on a floured counter. Don't over work it. Use as directed in pie recipe.

OK onto the fun!

We rated it a 4.5 SPOON- Useful and Yummy!
We will be making this one again!!!

We tripled the recipe and feed my parents and siblings and their families and the 12yr old niece wasn't a fan of all the veggies, but everyone else said they really enjoyed it!
