Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup chicken breast, cooked and diced
• 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just holds together. Do not overmix.

Step 3

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the mushrooms and thyme, and cook until the mushrooms are soft and any liquid has evaporated, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the cooked chicken and season with pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and use a round cutter (about 5 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.

Step 10

Place a spoonful of the filling onto one half of each circle, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 11

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

Step 12

In a small bowl, beat the egg with milk to create an egg wash. Brush this over the tops of the pies.

Step 13

Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
