You’re amazing, look at the Smoky BBQ Chicken Pie dishes you’ve made…

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

A hearty, filling pie that’s perfect for a family dinner on a chilly evening! Packed with shredded chicken, beans and smoky barbecue flavours, this pie is full of protein for a satisfying dinner.

We’ve added a layer of fluffy mashed potato that’s crisped up in the oven for a really comforting choice when you fancy a change from Cottage Pie!

Succulent chicken thighs are the star of the show in this recipe, as they’re cheaper and have loads of flavour. We’ve also used beans, which are a great way of upping the fibre content and making this dish go even further; ideal for a pie filling and easier on the wallet too.

Serve with a pile of freshly steamed veggies as a tasty alternative to a Sunday roast!

What diets is this Smoky BBQ Chicken Pie suitable for?

Smoky BBQ Chicken Pie can be enjoyed on gluten free diets, as long as you substitute the following for suitable alternatives:

• BBQ seasoning
• Worcestershire sauce – we often use Henderson’s Relish in place of this as it’s naturally gluten free and can be found in the condiment aisle.

If you’re cooking for people with allergies, be extra careful when checking ingredients and preparing food!

Do you need any special ingredients to make Smoky BBQ Chicken Pie?

All of the ingredients are super simple and can be found at most supermarkets. We’ve used an 18x27cm oven proof dish, but you could use smaller ones and split up the filling and topping if you’d prefer.

Hints & Tips

We hope you find them useful.

I used Branson Baked Beans instead of Cannellini Beans…….. it was great 🤩

Tasty hint

Added some spicy chorizo to this and it was amazing

Switch it up

Had no cannellini beans so used chickpeas instead, worked just as well. No BBQ seasoning so added chicken spices and some BBQ sauce
