Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix together shredded chicken, chopped bacon, ranch dressing, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one pie crust. Using a round cutter or a bowl, cut out circles about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Fill the Pies: Place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. You may use a fork to crimp the edges for extra sealing.
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 crust is golden brown.
Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious hand pies warm!
