Roasted or other cooked chicken breast is used for this quick and easy Curried Chicken Pot Pie. Curry powder added to the sauce gives this pie an intriguing flavor. Using prepared ingredients from the supermarket, you can put this pie together in minutes and it's a one-pot meal.
A ready-to-bake pie crust makes this dish a breeze. This recipe for 2 calls for a 6-inch deep dish or souffle dish. Most crusts are 8 or 9 inches. Simply lay the crust over the 6-inch dish and cut away the extra dough.
To shorten the cooking time, sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs over the ingredients instead of a pie crust and bake 10 minutes.
If you like, open a washed, ready-to-eat bag of salad to go with it.
