Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Bisquick mix
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This allows the oven to reach the right temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken and marinara sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
- In another bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Set aside half of this cheese mixture for topping later.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth. This will create a batter that will form the crust of your pie.
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Layer the chicken and marinara mixture evenly over the batter in the pie dish.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture (the half you set aside earlier) evenly over the chicken layer.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cheese layer, ensuring it covers the filling completely.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the layers to set and makes it easier to serve.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Impossible Chicken Parmesan Pie!
Tips
- Use pre-cooked, shredded chicken to save time - rotisserie chicken works wonderfully!
- Ensure your marinara sauce isn't too watery to prevent a soggy pie base.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or red pepper flakes to the batter.
- Let the pie rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- Check the pie's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean when the pie is fully cooked.
- For a crispy top, you can broil the pie for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve with a side salad or garlic bread to complete this delightful meal.
