Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 package (2 sheets) refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles using a 4-inch round cutter.
- Place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the hand pies cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding different vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the filling.
- You can also substitute the chicken with turkey or a plant-based protein for a different flavor.
