🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Butter (for greasing the pie dish)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and set aside.

2. Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the base of the prepared pie dish.

3. Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken to create a layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and all the Parmesan cheese over the marinara layer.

4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined. This will create your 'impossible' pie batter.

5. Pour the batter evenly over the layers in the pie dish, allowing it to seep slightly through the chicken and cheese layers.

6. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the pie.

7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

8. Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve warm.
