Ingredients you need to make Chicken Parmesan Pie:

1 package Pillsbury reduced fat crescent rolls
1 cup reduced fat or light pasta sauce
12 oz cooked shredded chicken
⅔ cup light shredded mozzarella
½ cup panko crumbs or bread crumbs
2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
Fresh parsley

How to make Chicken Parmesan Pie (step by step):

Preheat the oven to 350F, and spray an 8 inch round pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll the dough and use the pieces to shape a pie crust into your dish. This will require a little work and you might need to break some pieces and even things out. Prebake the dough for 5-7 minutes in the oven.
Place a few tablespoons of the pasta sauce on the bottom of the pie crust.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the remaining pasta sauce. Spoon it into the pie crust.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top, then the freshly chopped parsley.
In a small bowl mix the oil, parmesan, and panko crumbs, then sprinkle it on top of the pie.
Bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes, checking that the dough does not burn.
Cut it into six and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks for Making Chicken Parmesan Pie:

I cook my chicken breast in the crock pot with a little broth on low for about 4-6 hours. Thicken shreds up so nicely and you can store it in the fridge to use it for all kinds of meals.
Chicken Parmesan Pie will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days so it’s perfect for lunch meal prep. It will also freeze well, if wrapped tightly, for up to three months.
