Introduction
This is the best pie recipe I have ever invented, and the best thing is, there's almost no fat what so ever in it so you can eat as much as you like!! One note though is that when rolling the pastry, it is very sticky so make sure to flour the surface and rolling pin well.
Ingredients
To make the pie crust;

1 medium carnival_squash (also known as acorn_squash )
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all_purpose_flour
1 egg for egg wash glaze if desired

To make the filling;

1 1/2 cups mushrooms
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 x 295g can reduced fat condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 x 295g can of water 

 

Directions
Step: 1

Pre-heat oven to 200 oC. (390 F)

Step: 2

Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds. Peel squash and cut into cubes. Place in a medium sized saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a fork.Drain well, then mash and leave to cool.

Step: 3

Chop the mushrooms and dice the chicken.

Step: 4

Cook the chicken and mushrooms in a saucepan with no oil (the juice from the mushrooms will stop the chicken from sticking) until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

While  waiting for the chicken to cook, add the egg and flour to the mashed cooled squash, mixing to form the pastry.

Drain chicken and mushrooms, and add mushroom soup & water, keeping on the heat so that they mix well (about 2-3 minutes).

Roll the pastry out on to a well floured surface (it wil be very sticky so use loads of flour).

Line the 3 non stick pie tins (or disposable ones which have been greased to prevent sticking) with pastry, pricking the bottom of the tins to prevent the pastry from going soggy.

Spoon filling into the pastry lined tins  and use remaining pastry for the lid.

Brush with egg wash glaze if desired.

Bake in a pre-heated oven on 200 degrees C for 30 minutes or until golden.

Paula, I was reading this recipe and noticed that you drain the juices from the chicken and mushrooms. Your throwing away so much flavor. I would drain the juices into the measure cup and then add enough water to make the required amount.
