I don’t think I am alone on this one (or at least I tell myself I’m not), my toddler pretty much hates anything I cook unless its pizza or mac and cheese. I can only sneak in so many vegetables on his pizza and trying to  stuff chicken into his shells and cheese is getting old. Although this recipe might not be loaded with vegetables, it’s loaded with protein..and Max scarfed it right up. There may or may not have been happy tears shed.

We’re calling it Mexican Chicken Pot Pie.

Here’s what you’ll need. 

3 Chicken Breasts

1 can cream of chicken (I use the organic kind)

1 can black beans

1 can corn or 1 bag frozen corn

1 jar salsa

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

2 pie crusts

What to do: 

Preheat oven to 375.

Boil (or bake) your chicken breasts until cooked thoroughly. Shred. I shred my chicken in my kitchen aid mixer on setting 4 for about 40 seconds.

Combine chicken, black beans, corn, cream of chicken, salsa, and cheese into bowl. 

Mix Thoroughly.

Pour mixture into casserole dish. Mine is 13×9.

Roll out pie crusts and place on top of mixture. Puncture with fork. I might have gotten carried away with the poking.

Bake for 35 minutes (or until pie crust is a golden brown).

Waa lah! You have yourself a super simple, delicious, family approved meal! I served mine with a side salad.

Let me know what you think!!

Happy Thursday Friends!
