For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, to customize the flavor. If you don't have cooked corn, you can use frozen corn. Just make sure to thaw it before adding it to the mixture. To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, consider blind-baking it fully before adding the filling.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace a pie crust into a pie dish, and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Sprinkle 2 ounces of Cheddar cheese onto the crust, and set aside. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, combine the chicken, instant rice, black beans, corn, black olives, sour cream, salsa, 6 ounces of Cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and cumin. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and pour the mixture into the partially-baked crust. (15 minutes)
04
StepTop the pie with the remaining crust, seal the edges of the pie decoratively (crimp or use a fork), and cut slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake for 25 minutes, and check to see if the crust is becoming too brown. If it is, wrap a strip of aluminum foil around the edge of the crust to prevent burning. Bake until the pie is golden brown and bubbling, approximately 15 to 20 more minutes. (45 minutes)
06
StepRemove from oven and let the pie rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and prevents it from being too runny. (10 minutes)
