Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons salted butter
  • 1/4 cup celery diced
  • 1/4 cup onion diced
  • 1/4 cup carrots diced
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream
  • 1 cup sliced curry chicken diced (I used Boar's Head Curry Chicken, but you can use any flavor you prefer or even cooked rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add butter to a skillet over medium high heat. Toss in celery, onion, and carrots and stir to coat in the butter. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until veggies are tender and fragrant.

    Cooking the aromatics for the hand pies.
  • Mix in the flour and curry powder and stir to coat. Once the veggies are coated and a paste forms, stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and allow to thicken for about 1-2 minutes, then remove from the heat.
    1 tablespoon all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 cup chicken broth
    Adding broth the the vegetables for the hand pies.
  • Stir in the sour cream and the sliced chicken breast. Set aside.
    1/2 cup light sour cream, 1 cup sliced curry chicken
    Adding sour cream and chicken to the vegetable mixture.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Use the bottom of a glass or a 3" round cookie cutter to cut out circles in the dough. The two sheets should yield about 18 circles total.
    2 sheets frozen puff pastry
    Preparing the dough for the hand pies.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture to one-half of each circle. Moisten the edge of each circle with a small amount of water, and then fold over the dough to cover the mixture and press to close. Use a fork to seal each pie, and lay on a greased baking sheet, about 1" apart. Repeat with the remaining dough.
    Adding the filling to the hand pies.
  • In a small bowl, combine whisked egg and water. Brush each hand pie with egg mixture and then sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
