Depends... Are you going to use it for your faux pirohy filling? If so,
it is not.

Thanks for the idea!

Got a recipe for the filling or are you winging it?

I have a big bag of smoked turkey defrosting.

A smoked turkey concoction would be good topped with corn bread batter
before baking.

Maybe some green chilies in the batter for a little zing.

Not if you are making the Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish version, My sister
(used to live in Lancaster County) makes it. You start with a pot of
chicken soup/stew - not too thick!. Then she made a dough and rolled
it out like pie crust, let it dry a little and tore it into little
"rags" - like tagliatelle???
She dropped them by handfuls into the simmering stuff (never letting
it stop boiling) until they were tender. Served in shallow bowls. It
was pretty good but I still prefer two crust pot pies and my favorite
is turkey.

Hmm, having been born in Lancaster, Pa. myself, what you are describing
sounds more like adding "rivels" to chicken-corn soup. Pot pie noodles
are about 2 inch squares, also cooked in the soup. Of course, this
varies from family to family I suppose, but the square noodles can
be purchased in packages labeled "Pot Pie" noodles.

I like chicken pies (which is what my family always called the frozen
type) with both top and bottom crust, but if you only have one I think
on top is the way to go.

I think Barb's looked fine on the plate. I shouldn't have looked, because
now I'm really hungry . . . sigh.

Wrong? Oooooh yeah, a mortal sin; you're gonna go to hell for that.

If you don't put a crust on it, isn't it creamed chicken
or even chicken-ala-king with vegetables?

I've always used James Beard's recipe for chicken pie which
begins with making his chicken fricassee. If I don't use a crust, I
often top it with baking powder biscuits.

It's YOUR kitchen and YOUR chicken, do whatever you please.

I'd put mashed potatoes on top, then call the shepherd a chicken!

No crust? Use mashed potatoes on top. Or dumplings. Or something!
Cover up that nekkid chicken, woman. Otherwise, it's just chicken
stew.

I thought it was illegal. Maybe it depends on the state?
