Chicken Salad Pie Recipe

Lois McAtee of Oceanside, California gives leftover chicken an unexpected treatment in this memorable main-dish pie. A creamy chicken salad mixture chock-full of celery, walnuts and pineapple looks special enough for company when chilled in a flaky pie crust.

I had something similar at a ladies luncheon that was delicious. I've been wanting this recipe ever since then because the hotel would not share their recipe! This recipe was similar and good. I will make some changes for my next time...might use miracle whip instead of mayo, add reg grapes or craisins for more color, maybe some curry powder, sharp cheddar cheese, and toasted pecans or almonds. Hopefully these changes will make it more like I ate at the hotel. I'll let you know how the changes turn out.

I give it 2 stars because I like the idea. I do not know if it was something I put in it, since I tweaked it a bit to use what I had, or it was the recipe itself... it smelled weird, but tasted okay. It was edible, but can't say I'll make it again. Although I do love the pineapple in it.
