Divide chicken mixture equally between the circles. Moisten edges of dough with water and fold over mixture to completely enclose. Place folded side down on a sprayed baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg white. Place 3 whole sage leaves on top, if desired, and brush again. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 15 minutes (I actually skipped this step and they turned out fine).
