I’m sharing an amazing idea for a hot snack with you today. It’s Broccoli Chicken Alfredo Hand Pies and they turned out SO good! Hand pies filled with chicken, broccoli and homemade Alfredo sauce. The recipe for Alfredo Sauce is also included!
Last week I realized that it’s been a long time since I’ve made my Alfredo sauce. With so many things I try and experiment in the kitchen, sometimes I forget to make our favorite dishes. So I whipped up a big batch of Alfredo sauce and wanted to use it in different dishes.
This is one of the tasty things that I made with my Alfredo sauce and they were a huge success! These hand pies don’t just make a great snack, they can be served for lunch or dinner with some veggies on a side.

Not sure what happened….but this does not work. Ended up being a gooey mess of melted raw pastry and Alfredo mix. Ditched the pastry and made some pasta instead.
Alicia says
Made these tonight for dinner – they were a hit! Can’t wait to make them again! 🙂

I am so happy to hear that, Alicia!
So sorry for a late response!

These look great and I can’t wait to try the recipe soon. Has anyone made these with puff pastry dough? I’m just wondering if it’s too light for these. I will use my homemade pie crust if puff pastry doesn’t work out.
lyuba says
Thank you, Kim!
I’ve made similar ones with puff pastry. It as the honey dijon chicken ones. You can actually find them here: https://www.willcookforsmiles.com/2012/09/honey-dijon-chicken-pockets-with-creamy.html
I love puff pastry 🙂

Thank you so much, Lisa!

I am so excited about these! Thank you so much for sharing. I have been looking for easy portable recipes that can be taken to the fields for harvest season. My mother in law always shows up with a 5 course dinner in the back of her SUV and I just can’t swing that especially when I am in a tractor all day. I can make these ahead, wrap in foil and go! 🙂 Pinning and making this weekend FOR SURE!!
lyuba says
Sure can! Just be careful of the moisture building up. You can also try using pizza dough 🙂
Thank you, Kelly!
Natalia says
I love this! I will definitely be giving this a try. It’s like a healthier version of a hot pocket, right? I am definitely going to make this for my boys, I can’t wait! Thanks for sharing! 🙂 Love your blog!
lyuba says
I wish that I could say “healthier!” I will say that you know what ingredients are in it exactly and that is great! Calorie wise, not much healthier 🙂
Thank you, Natalia!
