Tips:

1. Pre-cook Chicken: To save time, use pre-cooked chicken. Rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe.
2. Pie Crusts: You can use store-bought pie crusts for convenience, or make your own if you prefer a homemade touch.
3. Vegetable Variations: Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Peas, corn, or green beans can be great additions.
4. Make-Ahead: Prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate. When ready to bake, add the pie crust and bake according to the instructions.
5. Homemade Chicken Broth: For added flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. If using store-bought, choose low-sodium options.
6. Pie Crust Tips: If you’re using a pre-made crust, consider brushing it with an egg wash before baking for a shiny and golden finish.
