To make Chicken and Green Chile Hand Pies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 can green chiles, drained and chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten

To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, green chiles, cheddar cheese, sour cream, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Next, roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares. Spoon the chicken mixture onto one half of each square, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
Brush the tops of the hand pies with the beaten egg. Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
When the Chicken and Green Chile Hand Pies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These hand pies are best served warm, but can also be enjoyed cold.
