Buffalo Chicken Hand Pies Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat to oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, salt, pepper, mozzarella cheese, green onions, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing.
• Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.
• Using a paring knife, cut thin strips to resemble football laces. Then, cut out small football shapes from the remaining dough. Reroll any excess dough and cut out more shapes. You should have about 48 footballs total.
• Transfer 24 football shapes to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken filling into the center of each football, leaving about a ½-inch (1 cm) border around the edges.
• Brush the edges with egg wash and place another football on top, pressing the edges with your finger. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
• Arrange the lace cutouts on top of the footballs. Brush more egg wash over the tops.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with ranch dressing, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the celery, carrots and a pinch of salt and cook until the colors brighten and the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, until the butter and liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Pour the stock and milk into the pot, stirring continuously to dissolve the flour, and cook until thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken, peas, hot sauce, sour cream and 1 teaspoon salt. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Unroll 1 pie crust over a 9-inch pie plate, easing it over the bottom and gently pressing it up the sides. Let any excess hang over the edges. Spoon half of the cooled pot pie filling onto the bottom crust. Sprinkle half of the blue cheese on top. Pour the remaining filling on top and sprinkle with the remaining blue cheese. Unroll the top crust over the pie. Roll the bottom and top crust edges together and crimp.
• Whisk the egg and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and make 4 slits on top (this will let steam escape). Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Add the cream cheese to a large bowl. With an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until creamy and soft, 1-2 minutes. Add the ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, and 1 egg and mix on low speed to combine, gradually increasing the speed to medium as the mixture becomes less watery, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the chicken, celery, carrots, onion, and shredded cheddar to the cream cheese mixture. Stir with a spatula to combine.
• Transfer the chicken mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Unroll the pie dough over the skillet and lay evenly over the filling. Run your fingers underneath the edges of the dough and tuck under itself to form a crust that sits neatly along the edges of the skillet.
• In a small bowl, mix together the remaining egg and the heavy cream. Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie crust. Using a paring knife, make a few small slits in the center of the crust.
• Bake the pot pie for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pot pie from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
• Serve the pot pie garnished with scallions.
• Enjoy!
