These delicious hand pies are similar to a Hot Pocket, but homemade.
They’re filled with broccoli, chicken and cheddar cheese. It’s an easy to make filling.
If you’re short on time you can use a rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken. I used chicken breast to keep it low in points.
There’s something about hand pies that makes them fun to eat and kid friendly. Plus they’re low in points!

How to Make Broccoli, Chicken & Cheddar Hand Pies:
I melted a teaspoon of light butter in a large skillet then added 2 tablespoons of chopped onions. Let the onions cook for 3 minutes on medium heat.
You can use fresh or frozen chopped broccoli. I used frozen because it was easier.
Add the broccoli to the skillet and let that cook a couple minutes.
Next add the chicken, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Stir together and turn off the heat.
On a floured work surface you want to roll out each biscuit into a large circle. Add a heaping tablespoon of filling to the biscuit.
Brush egg wash around the edge of the biscuit to help seal it. Fold the biscuit over and seal the edges. I used a fork to press the edges together.
Place the hand pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the egg wash over the top of the hand pie.
Bake the pies 10-14 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
I eat my pie as is but my daughter likes to dip hers in ranch dressing. 🙂
Yield: 8 hand pies
