Green Curry Chicken Pies with Everything Bagel Crust Bites Ingredient Options
- the pre-cooked chicken can be light meat or dark
- I use rotisserie chicken, but leftover grilled chicken or canned chicken works too
- any fresh or frozen vegetables may be used
- soy sauce may be used instead of fish sauce
- light or dark brown sugar or palm sugar can be used
- make sure to use unsweetened coconut milk
- fresh Thai basil is the best, but regular basil or cilantro is fine
- find green curry paste in international section of grocery store
- everything bagel seasoning contains dried garlic, onion, poppy, sesame seeds, salt
Ready made pie dough circles from Wick's Pies plus some pantry staples really makes this recipe a breeze. If you can dice a potato and chop a shallot you can have an easy homemade dinner on the table in less than an hour. Honestly, no one will know those yummy bites of crust are not homemade. I won't tell if you don't.
The filling for these pies features creamy coconut milk fragrant with ginger, shallots and a kick from green curry paste. Fish sauce, lime juice and a bit of brown sugar add to the balance of flavor infusing the chicken and vegetables with such aromatic goodness. The basil adds some freshness, but it is the everything bagel crust bites that are the crowning glory of these green curry chicken pies.
