Tuscan Chicken And Broccoli Hand Pies Recipes

SAUTE OF CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI - ITALIAN STYLE

Steps:

• Bring salted water to a boil. Parboil the broccoli for a minute and remove. Add the penne and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente.
• In a large skillet heat the olive oil. When hot, add the onion and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken and saute, stirring continuously until no longer pink. Add the garlic and saute a few moments, then add the white wine, oregano and tomato sauce. Add the parboiled broccoli and simmer just to reheat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with Italian parsley. Drain penne and transfer to a bowl. Top with chicken and broccoli saute and serve.

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR HAND PIES

Steps:

• For the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the flour and cook 15 to 30 seconds. Switch to a whisk and slowly stream in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue whisking until no lumps remain. Switch to a wooden spoon, bring to a simmer and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened enough to coat the back of the spoon, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the paprika and mustard. Stir in the cheese, stirring until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• For the hand pies: If using fresh broccoli, prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl with ice and water. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and allow to cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the broccoli and place immediately into the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and pat very dry. If using thawed frozen broccoli, just pat the florets very dry with paper towels.
• Place the broccoli florets in a food processor and pulse until chopped. Stir the chopped broccoli into the cheese sauce and refrigerate until cooled and set, 1 to 2 hours.
• When ready to form the hand pies, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the pie dough out on a work surface. Cut out circles from the dough using a bowl or plate that is 4 inches in diameter and cutting around it with a paring knife. You should get a total of 8 circles. Place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the broccoli-cheese mixture in the center of a dough round and brush the egg wash mixture around the edge of the circle, then fold one side of the crust over the filling, creating a half-moon. Press the edges to seal, then use the tines of a fork to press gently around the edges to seal again. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds and filling.
• Brush the tops of the pies with egg wash and prick with a fork or make a small slit with a paring knife in the top of each to release steam. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a deep, round baking dish.

Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in baby kale; cook until wilted. Add the cannellini beans, chicken, and plum tomatoes; stir. Season with oregano, basil, salt and pepper to taste. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
• Place pie crust on top of the chicken mixture. Tuck under or trim edges that extend over the sides. Make several slits in the crust with the tip of a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
• Bake in preheat oven until crust has browned and mixture is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 pie crust until it's about 1/2" thick. Using a 4"-biscuit cutter, cut out 10 rounds from each crust, re-rolling the scraps if necessary. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the filling onto one side of each circle, then fold it in half to create a semi-circle.
• Press down around the edges of the pies with your finger, then press down with a fork along the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining pie crust and filling. Lightly brush with egg wash and place on sheet trays, leaving about 1" in between each.
• Using a paring knife, slice 3 vents in the top of each hand pie. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and bake for 15 to 20 min. until puffed and golden. Remove from oven, let cool for 3 to 5 min. and serve warm or at room temperature.
