I whipped these up for friends and they loved them...I hope you will too. A store bought rotisserie chicken works great or any leftover chicken meat. Ingredients:
1 cup shredded cooked chicken meat |
1/4 cup salsa |
1 tablespoon chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce, minced |
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded |
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, stir together shredded cooked chicken, salsa, chipotle peppers and cheese.
3. Unfold pie crust and roll out to make slightly thinner.
4. Using a 3-inch cutter, cut dough into circles; brush edges lightly with water. Place a small amount of filling in the center of each and fold over to enclose. Press edges with the tines of a fork to seal and place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve with additional salsa and guacamole, if desired.
