15 oz pie dough, prepared and chilled

3 cups chicken, pre-cooked, chopped (white or dark meat)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

2 oz bell pepper, of your choice, diced

1 tbsp cumin

1 tsp chili flakes, jalapeño

salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl, combine the chicken, cheeses, bell peppers, cumin, and chili flakes.

Season with salt and pepper, then mix to combine. Adjust taste accordingly.

Roll out the pie crusts until 2-mm thick and cut out rounds with a 12-cm cookie cutter.

Spoon roughly 2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each round.

Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal or use a fork.
