Chicken Pot Pie Pockets
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 13 cups Chopped Onion
- 13 cups Chopped Celery (1 Large Stalk)
- 13 cups Chopped Baby Portabella Mushrooms
- 13 cups Chopped Carrot (1 Carrot)
- 2 Tablespoons Flour
- 1- 1/2 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
- 1 cup Shredded White Meat Chicken
- 13 cups Parmesan Cheese
- Salt And Pepper
- 2 Ready Make Pie Crusts
- 1 Egg And A Dash Of Water For Egg Wash
- Melt the butter in a large skillet on medium high.
- Add the onion, celery, mushrooms, and carrots.
- Saute for 6 to 7 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle in flour and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the chicken broth and stir until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in shredded chicken and the Parmesan cheese.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a bowl and cool in the refrigerator until completely cooled, about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flour a work surface and roll out one of the pie crusts.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough just a little.
- Take a bowl that is about 5 inches in diameter and invert it on the dough, using it as a cutter to make your individual discs.
- I got about 6 from each pie crust.
- Place 1/4 cup of filling on one side of the circle.
- Fold over the dough to form a pocket, making sure that all the mixture is inside and toward the center.
- Using a fork, crimp the edges to form a seal.
- Pockets can be frozen at this point.
- To freeze, lay on a baking sheet in a single layer in the freezer until completely frozen, then you can put the pockets in a freezer safe bag and store.
- To cook, prick each pie on top twice with a fork to allow the steam to escape.
- Beat egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush each pocket.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- To cook from frozen, take directly from the freezer, add the egg wash and bake as directed but add on about 58 minutes more.
- To freeze cooked pies, individually wrap pockets in plastic wrap and freeze.
- They can be reheated in the oven or the microwave.
