GREEN CHILI POT PIE
Steps:
- Dough: In a bowl mix muffin mix, salt, butter, shortening, 1 egg, vinegar, and water. Knead dough, and cut into 2 pieces. With a rolling pin, roll out each crust large enough to cover a pie pan. Place 1 crust in a pie pan and remove excess crust. Refrigerate until ready to use. Set aside remaining crust in the refrigerator.
- Filling: In a bowl mix lime juice, tequila, Greek seasoning, and chicken breasts. Let marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan. Grill chicken until cooked through and juices run clear. Let cool and shred.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and let cook for 1 minute. Remove heat; add 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, tomatoes, garlic salt, and green chiles. Stir in 1/2 cup of milk and 1 1/2 cups of cheese. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add shredded chicken and remove from the heat.
- Pour filling into pie crust, add remaining 1 cup of cheeses, and cover with the reserved top crust. Cut small slits in top crust and flute edges. Mix 1/4 cup of water with remaining 1 egg and beat well. Brush the egg mixture over the top crust.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes.
GREEN CHILI PIE
I have no idea where I got this recipe, but my girls have loved it forever. It's better the second day, when all the flavors have blended well. If you like cheese and a little bit of Mexican flavor, you'll like this!

Steps:
- 1. If you like spicy food, add the cup (or more) of jalapeño cheese, you can make it has hot as you'd like. I'm not fond of spicy things, so I leave the hot cheese out and substitute it with more Monterey Jack (or anything I've got on hand!).
- 2. Mix green chilis (do NOT drain), onions and soup together and set aside. Mix all your shredded cheese together and set aside.
- 3. I use a 2 Qt. deep casserole dish to make this, so I cut my tortillas to fit the dish- so that they make a layer. Hopefully, this will make sense as you start making this dish.
- 4. Spray Pam on the bottom of the casserole dish. Layer tortillas, soup mixture and a BIG handful of cheese for your first layer. Continue with that layering method, ending with cheese. The more cheese, the better. I use all kinds of cheese. It's a great way to use up all those used packages of shredded cheese.
- 5. Bake 350, 45 - 60 minutes. It need to be bubbly and golden brown on top. Let set for awhile before eating. Serve with tortilla chips, chopped tomatoes, and chopped lettuce. You may want to fix taco meat and have flour tacos on the side!
Tips:
- For a spicier pie, use hotter green chilies or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- To make the pie ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the pie in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until heated through.
- For a vegetarian version of the pie, omit the ground beef and add an extra cup of cooked black beans or lentils.
- Serve the pie with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded lettuce.
Conclusion:
Green chili pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck dinner. With its creamy filling, flavorful crust, and customizable toppings, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
