Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375ºF.

Combine first 4 ingredients. Whisk egg and water until blended.

Unroll 1 pie crust on lightly floured surface; roll out to 12-inch diameter with rolling pin. Cut into 8 (4-inch) rounds with biscuit cutter, re-rolling scraps as necessary; place in single layer on parchment-covered baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pie crust.

Spoon 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto center of each dough round; brush edge with egg. Fold in half. Gently press tops to remove excess air; seal edges with fork. Brush with remaining egg. Sprinkle with chili powder.

Bake 15 min. or until golden brown.
