Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Rimmed Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- ▢1/3 cup butter
- ▢1 small yellow onion, diced
- ▢1 stalk celery, diced
- ▢1 carrot, peeled, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
- ▢1/3 cup flour
- ▢3/4 cup chicken broth
- ▢1 cup half and half
- ▢2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ▢1/2 teaspoon salt
- ▢1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- ▢1/4 teaspoon pepper
- ▢2 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken or turkey
- ▢3/4 cup frozen peas, defrosted
- ▢1 package refrigerated pie crusts
- ▢1 egg white
- ▢1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot and cook 4 to 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour on top of onion mixture. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and half-and-half.
- Add cream cheese, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon so that it melts and blends into the sauce. Cook until bubbling and thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add salt, garlic powder, thyme, and pepper.
- Stir in chicken and peas. Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Unroll piecrusts and use a rolling pin to roll them slightly thinner. You want to be able to cut 4 circles out of each pie crust.
- Use a bowl that’s approximately 5 to 6 inches across to cut a total of 8 circles. Roll the scraps together and cut 2 more circles.
- Place filling(as much as you can and still be able to fold over the dough and seal it) on one side of a circle of dough.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and milk. Use your finger or a small pastry brush to wet the edges of the dough with egg wash so that they will stick together. Fold dough over, pressing to seal edges. Crimp around edges with a fork.
- Repeat with remaining dough circles. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush tops with egg wash.
- Place in oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
