Had 1/2 of a rotisserie chicken to prepare for dinner. Followed the recipe exactly -- although was concerned with the use of undiluted tomato paste -- worked out fine -- except would add salt and pepper to chicken portion -- might consider pizza sauce instead if I do it again. STILL have enough for another meal !! Thanks for posting, Barb.

I love this recipe- I too found this origionally on bettycrocker.com. That is a great site. These "impossibly easy" pies are just that- super easy, flavorful and fun! they're a great 'make ahead and freeze' meal. I do that then just defrost in the microwave and mix the bisquick mix and pop it in the oven- and poof- dinner in no time! Not all the pies are fantastic- but this one is... very very good!!! :)

What a simple and delicious dish! I made this for dinner tonight using soy milk and soy cheese in place of the dairy ingredients, and it was so yummy! It's even better than pizza! I'll definitely be making this one again.

I used 2 tsp of fat free parmesan grated spread on the bottom of the pie plate and 1 tsp on top of bisquick, about 8 oz of baked chicken, 1 cup of fat free shredded mozzarella, no salt added tomato paste, reduced fat bisquick, skim milk and egg beaters instead of eggs. Thank you for the yummy recipe.

This was really yummy. I followed the recipe and sat down to eat with all these ideas of how I'd change it next time. The next thing I knew, I'd cleaned my plate! The only change I will make next time is to add red pepper flakes. Thank you!
