- Let cool and thicken for 8 minutes before you serve it.
Notes
* You are more than welcome to use 2 pie crusts. I have done it both ways. Make sure to par-bake the bottom crust for 5 minutes before you add the filling.** I baked the chicken breast for 15 minutes on 425 degrees. I seasoned them lightly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and used a tiny bit of olive oil. You could definitely use a shredded rotisserie chicken, I just found this to be easier!
