Chicken Casserole Pie
A hearty chicken casserole pie featuring tender chicken, creamy mushroom soup, boiled eggs, and a flaky self-rising flour crust, perfect for comforting family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the cooked, boned chicken, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and boiled eggs in a casserole dish.
- Mix the milk, melted oleo, and self-rising flour together.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in the casserole dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the top is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or sour cream to the mixture. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour with a teaspoon of baking powder for each cup. Feel free to substitute the chicken with turkey or a mix of vegetables for a vegetarian version, making it a versatile dish similar to Aunt Grace's Chicken Bake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the casserole pie hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed vegetables. For a comforting meal, consider serving with Mom's Tater Tot Casserole for a fun twist on classic chicken recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe?
Yes, using leftover rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver and adds extra flavor. Just shred the chicken and follow the recipe as directed, ensuring the chicken is warm before mixing it with the other ingredients.
What can I use instead of cream of chicken soup?
If you prefer a homemade option, you can make a simple white sauce by combining butter, flour, chicken broth, and seasonings. This will provide a similar texture and flavor. Alternatively, any creamy soup like cream of mushroom would work as a substitute.
How do I know when the casserole is done baking?
The casserole is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking until fully cooked.
