Bread Bun Chicken Pies

Submitted by Tisme

"I found this recipe from Ingham's. I prefer chicken breasts to use, but thigh's are listed in the ingredients. I actually use left over chicken also and this works really well and makes for an even quicker meal. Just cut out the cooking the chicken and move onto the next step."
