  • Lightly grease a large skillet and cook chicken until no longer pink; remove and reserve.
  • In a food processor, add onion to puree, then add cheese to puree. Add chicken and puree a final time.

  • In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and add one tablespoon of water. On a floured surface, roll out dough until it is 1/4 inch thick or almost paper thin. Cut out 2 inch circles and brush with egg and water mixture. Place 1 teaspoon of stuffing in the middle of the circle and fold over. Seal the half moon by crimping the edge.
