I adapted this recipe from a cookbook that I have had for many years. It's an excellent way to use up leftover chicken. Even though it takes a bit of time to prepare, everyone agrees it's well worth it. Sometimes I make small individual pies and freeze them to have on hand. —Bonnie Jean Lintick, Kathryn, Alberta
