Imagine layers of chicken, veggies, and ricotta cheese inside 2 flaky pastries. Very easy to make and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. It’s so pretty that you can also use it for entertaining. Serve it alongside a green salad and you’ll have the perfect meal.

I don’t know about you, but I am getting tired of chicken breasts, so this is a different way of serving them. If it were for my husband we would be eating grilled chicken every night. How boring!

You can also use leftover chicken from a previous meal or rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. That will speed up the process if you’re in a hurry.

Ricotta is a great ingredient to use while cooking. I love playing with it in so many ways! With fruit in the morning, on a piece of toast with honey, and bringing life to boring old chicken.

This Chicken Ricotta Pie is also a great way of getting rid of all those veggies about to go bad in your fridge. Toss them in there and your kids won’t even notice. šŸ˜‰

Doesn’t everything taste better inside a pie? If you serve the same chicken and veggies without the crust, your family won’t be as excited to eat them. So start thinking about what else you can put inside… In my husband’s case, Brussels Sprouts. He hates them! So I will be very sneaky next time with a Mystery Pie.

One thing I just noticed that I am lacking, is some nice pie plates. I have a little one and the rest are cake molds. All my other bakeware is square. Great excuse to go shopping tomorrow! Want to come?

Here’s a little video on how the Chicken Ricotta Pie is made. Hope you can try it at home. If you do, please tag me on Instagram @livingsweetmoments and/or use the hashtag #LivingSweet – I promise to Repost it.
