# Ingredients:
01 -
1 egg, beaten (for brushing).
02 -
10 pre-made dough circles (6 inches wide).
03 -
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt.
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder.
05 -
1 teaspoon onion powder.
06 -
1 tablespoon tomato paste.
07 -
2 teaspoons bouillon powder (chicken flavor).
08 -
2 cups shredded chicken breast (roughly 1.5 lbs).
09 -
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro.
10 -
4 minced garlic cloves.

1 diced yellow or orange bell pepper.
12 -
1 cup diced red bell pepper.
13 -
1/2 cup finely chopped onion.
14 -
2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin).
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F and let it get hot.
02 -
Place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
03 -
Heat up oil and sauté the onions with peppers for 5 minutes. Toss in garlic and cilantro, cooking for another minute. Add shredded chicken, bouillon, tomato paste, spices, and a cup of water. Stir as it cooks until most of the liquid disappears (around 5-8 minutes).
04 -
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the filling onto each dough circle. Leave a tiny border of 1/4 inch. Mix together the egg with 1 spoonful of water for egg wash. Dab it along the edges, fold the dough over to seal it, then press the sides with a fork. Paint the tops with more egg wash.
05 -
Bake for roughly 35 minutes, or until they’re crispy and golden.
# Notes:
01 -
You can make the dough yourself or grab some from the store.
02 -
Freeze them before cooking if you'd like.
03 -
If baking frozen ones, tack on extra cooking time.
