Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 Garlic clove
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves, fresh
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 package Frozen dairy-free puff pastry sheets
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cube the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch pieces and season them with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until it's cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 6

Slice the cremini mushrooms.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.

Step 8

Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves to the skillet and cook until the mushrooms are browned and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, and stir well to coat.

Step 10

Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring constantly, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mixture thickens, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 11

Return the chicken to the skillet and mix to combine. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 12

Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles, about 5 inches in diameter.

Step 13

Place a heaping tablespoon of filling onto each circle.

Step 14

Fold over the dough to create a half-moon shape and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 15

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 16

Brush the tops of each hand pie with the egg wash.

Step 17

Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 18

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
