Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
Add Mushrooms: Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook until they are soft. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Combine with Chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing well to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into circles (about 5 inches in diameter).
Fill the Pies: Place a spoonful of the chicken and mushroom filling in the center of each pastry circle. Fold the pastry over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Brush with Egg Wash: Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the hand pies are puffed and golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
