Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in peas, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
  7. Unroll pie crusts. Cut out circles using a 4-inch round cutter. You should get about 6-8 circles per crust.
  8. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto one half of each pie crust circle, leaving a small border.
  9. Fold the other half of the crust over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  10. Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the beaten egg wash. Cut a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use rotisserie chicken.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth if preferred.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like corn or mushrooms.
  • These hand pies can be made ahead of time and reheated.
