  • 4 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
  • 0.5 cup diced yellow onion
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1.25 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 ounces cream cheese cut into pieces

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add flour, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  6. Stir in cream cheese, frozen peas and carrots, and diced cooked chicken until well combined.
  7. Unroll pie crusts. Using a 5.5-inch bowl, cut out circles. Gather scraps and re-roll as needed to cut out a total of 8 circles.
  8. Beat egg yolks with water and brush the edges of the pie rounds with the egg wash.
  9. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling onto each crust circle. Fold in half to form a crescent and crimp edges to seal.
  10. Brush the top of each hand pie with egg wash and poke a few holes with a fork.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
