Chewdités Recipe

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tbs of sugar. Whisk until well blended.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix 3 tbs of water and 2 tbs of olive oil. Stir until combined.

Form the Dough

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Knead the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Prepare Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cooked and shredded chicken, 4 oz of cream cheese (softened), 1 tbs of chopped green onions, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Season with 0.5 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Roll Out the Dough

After resting the dough, divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

Add Filling

Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle.

Seal the Chewdités

Fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Pinch the edges together to seal tightly.

Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Brush and Sprinkle

Place the chewdités on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tbs of olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tbs of sesame seeds.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Garnish

Sprinkle with 1 tbs of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
