Ingredients

• ⅓ cup butter
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 carrot, peeled, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
• ⅓ cup flour
• ¾ cup chicken broth
• 1 cup half and half
• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken or turkey
• ¾ cup frozen peas, defrosted
• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

• In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot and cook 4 to 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour on top of onion mixture. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Gradually whisk in chicken broth and half-and-half.
• Add cream cheese, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon so that it melts and blends into the sauce. Cook until bubbling and thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in chicken and peas. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Unroll piecrusts and use a rolling pin to roll them slightly thinner. You want to be able to cut 4 circles out of each pie crust.
• Use a bowl thats approximately 5 inches across to cut a total of 8 circles. Roll the scraps together and cut 2 more circles.
• Place filling(as much as you can and still be able to fold over the dough and seal it) on one side of a circle of dough.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and milk. Use your finger or a small pastry brush to wet the edges of the dough with egg wash so that they will stick together. Fold dough over, pressing to seal edges. Crimp around edges with a fork.
• Repeat with remaining dough circles. Place on prepared baking sheet and brush tops with egg wash.
• Place in oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
