Description
Refrigerated pie crust makes quick work of assembling these bite-sized appetizers loaded with chicken and cheese. I've made them several times since receiving the recipe from a friend.
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
- 2/3 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 4 teaspoons chopped sweet red pepper
- 2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust
- optional: egg wash and salsa verde
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough into a 15-inch circle. Cut with a floured 3-in. round biscuit cutter.
- Place about 1 teaspoon filling on half of each circle. Moisten edges with water. Fold crust over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal.
- Transfer to greased baking sheets. If desired, brush with egg wash. Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm, with salsa if desired.
