Ingredients
  

  • 2 8 ounce tubes crescent (croissant) flake rolled dough
  • 4 -6 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons Maille Dijon Originale Mustard
  • 1 tablespoons chopped pimento pepper or jarred roasted red peppers
  • 3 - 4 spring onions diced
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using 2 forks, shred the chicken, about 4 - 6 cups.
  • In a large bowl, add in the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, and blend well.
  • Add in the milk to loosen the chicken mixture slightly. Mix in the chopped pimentos, spring onions, Maille Dijon Originale Mustard, chives, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Blend everything well, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until ready to use. Can be made up to 2 - 3 days ahead, kept covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the hand pies.
  • Unroll the dough, cutting along the perforations to form 4 rectangles, pressing or pinching the remaining perforations firmly to seal. Roll out if needed to make the rectangles about 4 x 6 inches in size.
  • Spoon 1/2 cup chicken mixture over the center of one rectangle. Pull the 4 corners of dough to the center, twisting and pinching firmly to seal edges. Repeat with remaining rectangles until you have filled 8 hand pies.
  • Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 min or until golden. Remove and serve.
  • Garnish with additional chopped chives and Italian flat-leaf parsley, if desired.

Notes

To make mini bite croissant chicken hand pies, simply use one perforated triangle per hand pie filled with 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
