Ingredients

  • 2 boxes of prepared frozen pie crust 2 crusts to a box, thawed
  • cups frozen mixed vegetables thawed
  • 2 cups chicken meat from ½ rotisserie chicken
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour plus additional for rolling the crust
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 baking sheets
  • parchment paper optional
  • cooking spray optional
  • paring knife
  • 1 bowl with a 5" - 6" circumference

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Stir the 3 tablespoons of flour into the melted butter until a paste forms (a roux). Cook the paste, stirring for 1 minute (this will take the raw flour taste out of the gravy).
  • Slowly add the chicken broth into the roux. Over medium heat, whisk the mixture occasionally until it thickens to a chicken gravy consistency (this will take approximately 3-4 minutes).
  • Once thickened, season the gravy with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.
  • Remove the chicken gravy from the heat and stir in the thawed mixed vegetables and the prepared bite sized chicken pieces. Cool the filling while preparing the crust.
  • Roll out the thawed pie crusts out on a lightly floured surface to enlarge them just slightly.
  • Using an inverted bowl and a paring knife cut 3 - 6" circles from each piece of pie dough.
  • Place approximately 1½ tablespoons of chicken filling on one half of each pie crust circle, making sure to leave about a ½" border around the circle.
  • Using a finger or pastry brush, run some water around the edges of each circle, as this will adhere the two pie crusts edges together when pressed.
  • Bring the top of the crust up and over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal.
  • Use the tines of a fork to enforce the seal around the edges of each pie pocket.
  • Transfer the pie pockets to baking sheets lined with parchment paper (optional) and/or sprayed with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix the egg and water together and brush the egg wash on top of each pie pocket.
  • Use a paring knife to cut a few steam slits on the top of each pie pocket.
  • Bake the pie pockets in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown.
  • Allow the pockets to cool slightly and serve.
