TASTY HAND-HELD CHICKEN POT PIE POCKETS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook, stirring halfway, until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 12 minutes.
• Pour half the chicken broth into the skillet with the chicken. Add frozen vegetables, dehydrated onion, granulated garlic, minced garlic, gravy mix, and salt. Stir and cover; reduce heat to medium and cook until flavors meld, about 8 minutes. Add instant potatoes and stir until incorporated. Add remaining chicken broth and stir.

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Open and unroll dough into one continuous sheet. Place on a prepared baking sheet. Pinch all seams together, sealing them. Stretch the dough to twice its size using a small rolling pin. Score the sheet into 8 squares using a knife. Repeat with the remaining dough on the other baking sheet.
• Place 1 heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of a dough square. Pull the side up and over the mixture. Seal the edge carefully with your fingers and then using a fork. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven, watching carefully until just starting to brown, about 13 minutes. Brush pies with beaten egg and cook until dried, about 2 minutes more. Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.

• Open biscuits and flatten each circle out with your fingertips. Place a portion of filling on one half of a circle and fold the other half over. Press edges with a fork to seal closed. Place mini pie carefully onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining biscuits and filling.

CHICKEN POT PIE POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Combine the cream of chicken soup, frozen vegetables, garlic powder, shredded chicken and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Unwrap the pie crusts and cut off the round edges of each to create a square. Cut each square into quarters, then trim the edges to create rectangles. Put 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center of 1 rectangle and brush the pastry with water around the perimeter. Top with another piece of pastry and use a fork to press down on the edges to completely seal closed. Brush with the egg and poke a few fork holes in the top. Repeat with the remaining rectangles and filling to make 8 pot pie pockets. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.

SAVORY CHICKEN POCKET PIES

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a pot and add water to barely cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 50 minutes. Skim and discard any foam as it rises on the surface. Remove the chicken to cool continue to boil the broth to reduce and concentrate to about 1 quart. Remove the meat from the chicken and shred.
• To make the filling, melt the butter in a medium-sized hot skillet and add the onion, celery, and carrot. Saute over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the salt and flour and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chicken broth and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 heaping cup shredded chicken and the Parmesan cheese. Cool in the fridge.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter or line a baking sheet.
• To form the pocket pies, work with half of a disk of dough at a time, rolling it out on a floured surface. Using an overturned bowl (about 5 inches across), cut out circles about 3 at a time from each piece of dough. After cutting out all your circles, gather all dough scraps, reroll, and cut out a final time. Place 1/4 cup filling on one side of a dough circle. Wet the edges of the dough with the water. Fold the dough over to form a half circle. Pinch the edge of the dough together. Crimp the edge with a fork. Repeat the process until all the filling is used. The pocket pies can be frozen at this point.
• Place the pocket pies on the prepared baking sheet and chill for a few minutes. Prick each pie on top twice with a fork. When ready to bake, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the egg wash over each pocket pie. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The pies can be cooled and frozen to reheat in the microwave.

FLAKY CHICKEN HAND PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Roast, uncovered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Remove skin and meat from bones. Chop meat roughly into 1/2-inch chunks and set aside or refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 days. (If desired, save skin, bones and pan drippings for stock.)
• Make filling: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, stirring, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, thyme and chopped mushrooms. Season mixture with salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium.
• Cook, stirring, until onions have colored slightly and mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat. Add broth and cook, stirring, as mixture thickens. Add chicken, turn heat to low and cook 5 minutes more. Stir in crème fraîche, turn off heat, and set aside to cool. Stir in scallions and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured (or parchment-paper-covered) work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out into an approximate 15-inch square. Use the tip of a knife to cut into 9 equal squares. Spoon about 3/4 cup chicken mixture into the center of each piece, then divide any remaining mixture evenly on top, so each has the same amount.
• Pick up and fold one corner of pastry over the filling to make a triangular pie. Press and pinch both edges together tightly to seal. Divide on the prepared pans.
• Brush the tops with egg wash and bake until deep golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.

EASY CHICKEN POT PIE / PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Boil the chicken breasts in 5-6 cups water for 20-25 minutes then place on a plate to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to blend the creme of mushroom soup (you COULD use creme of celery soup as a substitute), and the chicken broth.
• Drain the carrots and peas, then add them to the soup blend.
• Slice the boiled chicken into 1/2 inch chunks and stir it into the soup-vegetable blend.
• Assemble 5, 5-inch ramekins or similar oven-proof bowls and spray them with PAM.
• Distribute the mix among the 5 bowls evenly. Fill to about 3/4 of an inch from the top edges.
• Melt the butter and pour an equal amount on top of the mix of each filled ramekin. Use all the butter.
• In another mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, white pepper and milk.
• When the flour mix is slightly thicker than pancake batter and smooth (you may have to add an additional 2 or 3 tablespoons of milk), distribute the batter on top of the butter in each of the five bowls. DO NOT stir the butter or the batter into the soup mix!
• Slightly spread the batter across the tops, using a tablespoon to do so. Do not bother to spread the batter from edge to edge.
• Place the ramekins on a cooking tray and bake at 350 degrees F. for 50-60 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and serve when the tops are golden brown.
