- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chopped onion until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in diced carrot and celery, cooking until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add cooked chicken, frozen peas, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
3. Assemble Hand Pies:
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter or knife to cut out circles from the pastry sheets.
- Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling onto one half of each pastry circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal, then use a fork to crimp the edges securely.
4. Bake Hand Pies:
- Place the assembled hand pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
5. Serve:
- Remove the hand pies from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy these savory hand pies warm or at room temperature as a delicious snack or meal on the go!
