Southwestern Chicken Pie, chicken, red pepper, green pepper, corn, onion, and cheddar cheese are stuffed in a double crust pie and is baked until the crust is golden brown.

Southwestern Chicken Pie

Southwestern chicken pie, is made with a pie crust that has a touch of cornmeal in it, which brings the whole pie together.

I have always been a fan of pot pies. I love the idea of chicken and with veggies all stuffed between a double crust pie. It is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods.

Southwestern Chicken Pie

This Southern chicken pie is reminiscent of my beloved pot pies. Although the crust is not the flaky crust that you find on your everyday pot pies. This crust actually has some cornmeal as one of the ingredients.

I am partial to adding chicken when it comes to making meat pies, but if you prefer you prefer you can use ground beef instead of the chicken.

    This sounds delicious, Dawn! And I bet the cornmeal in the crust gives it a bit of a tamale feel. I definitely need to try this one…I love the flavors you used in the filling!

    I made this, without the tomatoes, and it was delicious. I did add a touch of chipotle for a little extra kick. Will definitely make again.
