Do you bake pie crust before filling it with chicken Ala king?

No, you would not bake a pie crust before filling it with chicken à la king.

Chicken à la king is a creamy, saucy dish that is best served warm, and baking the pie crust would make it too hard and dry.

Instead, you would:

1. Make the pie crust: Follow your favorite recipe, ensuring it is chilled thoroughly.

2. Assemble the pie: Line a pie plate with the crust, leaving some overhang for crimping. Fill the crust with the cooked chicken à la king.

3. Bake the filled pie: Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, typically about 30-40 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Tip: For a crispier crust, you can brush it with egg wash before baking.
