Hot Chicken Salad Pie Recipe

I love everything my mom cooks, but I have a couple of favorites. Her Creamy Chicken Soup, classic Spaghetti and Meatballs, and Sherry Chicken never disappoint. I truly crave them all the time. And then there is her Hot Chicken Salad Pie. It’s a fun take on a classic recipe– the ultimate comfort food. Hot chicken salad is baked into a pie crust and topped with lots of cheese for something absolutely amazing. It’s an easy chicken casserole. Yum! This is my absolute favorite meal to eat on a chilly day, curled up under a blanket, watching reality TV! Pat isn’t a fan of my TV habit, but he indulges me if it means he can eat this Hot Chicken Salad Pie. Sounds like a good deal for everyone!

What Pie Crust Should I Use?

We love to use Trader Joe’s pie crust for Hot Chicken Salad Pie. It’s super flaky and it tastes just like homemade. If you do want to make your own crust, check out our delicious homemade pie crust recipe. When I have time, that’s what I do, but pre-made pie crust is such a good option!

How Do I Make a Dip With This Recipe?

Oh yeah! The hot chicken salad filling also makes a killer dip all on its own. Just skip the crust, bake according to the recipe card, and serve with fresh veggies, pita chips, or bread. YUM! It’s a real hit at parties. I like to double the recipe and make both–one pie and one dip. You won’t regret it!

How to Make Baked Chicken Salad Dip:

You can also make the dip in a slow cooker. Simple heat on low until all the ingredients are melty and able to be stirred together. Serve with your favorite crackers.

Can I Freeze Leftovers?

Leftovers? I’ve never had any leftovers from this recipe, but if by some chance you do, I would not recommend freezing. There is a lot of dairy and mayo in Hot Chicken Salad Pie, and they will separate and get runny. Instead, refrigerate any leftovers and reheat in the microwave at 50% power.
