Green Chile Chicken Hand Pies Recipes

SLOW-COOKER GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADA PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Cut three 30x6-inch strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on bottom and up sides of a round 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray. Spread 1/4 cup chicken mixture over bottom of slow cooker. Top with 3 tortillas, overlapping and tearing them to fit, a third of the chicken mixture and a third of the cheese. Repeat twice., Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer reads 165°, about 4 hours. To avoid scorching, rotate slow cooker insert one-half turn midway through cooking, lifting carefully with oven mitts. Turn off slow cooker; let stand, uncovered, 15 minutes before serving. Using foil strips as handles, remove pie to a platter. Cut into wedges. If desired, serve with additional cilantro, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.

GREEN CHICKEN-ENCHILADA PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil and chicken; cook, flipping once, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly; shred with two forks.
• Divide 1/4 cup salsa among four 6-inch, 1 1/2-cup shallow baking dishes. Layer in 12 tortilla quarters, another 1/2 cup salsa, half of shredded chicken, and 3/4 cup cheese, dividing evenly among dishes. Repeat layering. Finish with remaining 12 tortilla quarters, followed by remaining salsa and cheese.
• Place dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bubbly and tops are golden brown in spots, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving, with accompaniments.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add canola oil to a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Add potatoes, salt, and pepper. Fry until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add sausage and onion to the same pan. Cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of potatoes using a slotted spoon. Stir in green chiles. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
• Divide each pie crust into 3 pieces. Roll out each piece into an 8-inch circle. Add 3 tablespoons of the potato-sausage mixture to each circle. Mix Cheddar and Gouda cheeses together; sprinkle 3 tablespoons over the filling.
• Beat egg and milk together to make egg wash. Fold dough over the filling in a semi-circle shape. Brush the edge of the pastry with egg wash; press to seal. Flute the border with a fork. Brush the tops with egg wash and score tops with a fork.
• Space hand pies evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
