Breadstick Topped Chicken Pie
"If you are looking for something different than the chicken pot pie Grandma used to make, this is the one. I got this recipe from a recipe booklet purchased at a grocery store checkout, but tweaked the ingredients to our taste. It orginally called for alfredo sauce, but we prefer a cheese sauce instead. You could use canned chicken, leftover chicken or turkey, or deli chicken as well. Make SURE the mixture is hot when you put the breadsticks on top, or they will not be cooked through, but gooey on the bottom."

My grocery store only had garlic flavored breadsticks, but I'm glad, because otherwise I think this would have been very bland. I used Ragu Alfredo sauce. If I make it again I'll add more seasonings & some sauted onions to better suit our tastes. This was easy to make & filling, just not quite right for my family. Thanks anyway! -
Must admit I could not find Ragu Cheese Creations anywhere. Used marinara with 4 cheeses and added 2 cups of mixed mozzerella and parmesan. Did everything else as directed. DH thought this was a tasty new concoction, but I thought the tomato sauce was overwhelming. Wish I had used the Alfredo. Since there is enough for 2 more meals, will be "tweaking" as I go. I LIKE the breadstick topping ! 10/4 Tweaked the leftovers with sauteed, chopped onions, garlic, and basil. Added about 3 Tbs. heavy cream and 3 Tbs. vodka -(to carry flavor). Was just trying to overcome overwhelming tomato taste (my fault, not poster's) and DID have improved taste! Would DEFINITELY go with Alfredo if made again !! -
This was really good! I think it needed just a bit more seasonings but I love the sauce! This was easy and quick to put together and was very pretty when done. Thanks for posting

I am an Auburn University Alumni and a HUGE Auburn Tigers fan...WAR EAGLE! From August until November, you know what I'll be doing on Saturdays...watching ANY NCAA game on TV.
I am also a fan of NASCAR. I have only been to 2 tracks, Talladega several times and Dover once, but I hope to visit many more. Pocono is only an hour away, so maybe someday! Atlanta is another real possibility with family close by.
My furbaby Wickett (a pekinese-poodle mix I had for almost 14 years) went to live at the Rainbow Bridge on April 4, 2007. He was literally my first born child! He will always be in my heart. We have a new dog now, Roxie, who is a Shih-tzu. I am an animal lover, and will always have a pet!
