2 Tablespoons Parsley
1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
1 can Evaporated Milk
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch (optional)
Directions
350 degree oven
Crust:
Mix together all the ingredients until fully combined. Put ¾ cup of mixture into pie plate and with fingers press mixture into pan, making sure to work your way up the sides. Bake in for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Chicken Filling:
Saute onion, celery and garlic in butter about five minutes, in a large kettle; add flour and cook for one minute. Add chicken stock and sweet potatoes, and cook until potatoes are tender. Stir in the rest of the ingredients through red pepper. Cook five minutes, and then add milk. Heat thoroughly. You do not want the mixture to come to a boil, so you may want to turn down the temperature.
Scoop about 3/4 cup filling into piecrust. Spread out mixture so it covers the crust evening. Garnish and decorate as desired. One suggestion is to make your favorite biscuit recipe and cutting out small biscuits to garnish your pie.
