You’ll Love This Unique Chicken and Peppers Pie Recipe

Are you looking for a new dinner pie? Tired of the same old Mexican dishes? This recipe is for you! It isn't what we'd call authentically Mexican, but the flavors contained within are certainly reminiscent of that cuisine. Peppers and chili powder help make this recipe truly pop.

This isn't a “pie” in the same way that Shepherd's pie or pot pie is. It lacks a bottom crust, which some might say disqualifies it as a pie entirely. We think it can still count, though, particularly due to its lattice top crust. As long as it looks like a pie, who are we to judge?

This recipe is so delicious that any argument over whether it counts as a pie will end as soon as everyone takes a bite. Everyone will be too busy thinking about how great it is! This recipe is great to make for just the family, but it can also be used for a potluck or other gathering. Give yourself 45-60 minutes to make it, and you'll be golden. You might even be able to make it faster once you know the recipe by heart!
