Chicken bread pie Recipe with photos of each step. In this pie, we combined the goodness of homemade sandwiches with french pie. The recipe is highly adaptable. You can use stale bread ( although, fresh is recommended) leftover chicken with or without gravy, few vegetable, everyday sauces, like white sauce, some cheese and a delicious pie is ready to eat.
Specially , when guests are around and you want one quick dish. This is my favorite on those days. So you can adjust this pie to your taste, however I’m giving a complete recipe with fresh ingredients.
What makes this pie absolutely yummy is the variety of sauce. The ketchup-mayo sauce on soaked bread makes a soft base for the pie. Then almost any leftover chicken pairs well with dish. Finally, the creamy cheesy veggie sauce. What dig your spoon in the dish you feel going though so many layers and each with a distinct taste. Overall, tasting so much in one bite is so delightful.
One more that’s so good about this pie is you can use any veggie available to you in the pantry. I prefer chopping my veggies very finely so my kids who are not great fans of veggies will eat these essentials without any trouble.
Lastly, this pie is juicy! NOM NOM NOM. You won’t stop till wipe off the dish clean.

Jamila says
The bread that you add in the base layer ….does that crisp up while baking or remains soggy?
Recipe 52 says
Since, we are dipping it in milk it will be kind of soggy. In fact, the bread is should be well absorbed with all sauces. And it is hardly distinguishable in the pie.
Ruqaiya says
Hi why do put bread in the first layer.. wht the purpose of adding that and if I add veggies raw like this won’t it leave some moisture as veegies without stir frying do leave some moisture.. please reply I want to try it tonight

Usually in any pie there is some sort of carb which makes it filling , like potato, puff pastry, pasta, lasagne etc. So in this recipe bread act as carb.
We’ll soak bread in milk and add sauce over it so it won’t taste like sandwich or so. In fact sometimes it is difficult to tell that a layer of bread is added to the dish. We are adding vegetables directly to hot white sauce, so it cooks the vegetable a bit. Besides, when we bake the pie the vegetable with cook further.
The excess water from veggies will add to the moisture in the dish and save it from being too dry.
This recipes has been tested number of times by me as well as many followers. Give it a go!:)
Lastly, if you still prefer very soft vegetable than you can stir fry vegetables and add it as separate layer over the white sauce.
