This is so very good! It is true that it doesn't make quite as much filling as I might like, but what it makes is scrumptious! I made my own pie crust, used leftover grilled chicken, turkey bacon, yellow onion, and about half as much green chilies as called for. I subbed low-fat colby-monterey jack cheese for the swiss and cheddar, and used low fat sour cream and 1% milk. Keep an eye on it and don't bake too long. Every delicious bite disappeared!

This was pretty good. I had a small amount of chicken and cheese and one pie crust to use up so made just half this recipe. I used roll-out crust in my own pie pan so the filling was a little thin - I imagine it would be thicker in a frozen crust since those are usually a smaller diameter. Skipped the bacon as I didn't have any on hand and just cooked the onion briefly in the microwave. For my taste, was missing some sort of seasoning (not sure what, maybe thyme or something similar?) but was a good use for my leftovers. Thanks for the recipe!
