Another TV fail

Hungry Girl let me down again.  I was so excited when I saw her pocket pies on TV today.  But, after a trip to the store and hours (ok, minutes) slaved over the stove and oven, I was not quite satisfied with the results. 

I made 3 different fillings, then filled them all and baked 350F for 18 minutes.  The fillings were Creamy Chicken, Apple, and Strawberry Rhubarb.


Creamy Chicken:

1 cup milk
1/2 cup 2% shredded cheese
1 t chicken boullion
2 t cornstarch
7 oz lean chicken, chunked
1 1/3 cup mixed veggies
*** On stove top, mix first 4 ingredients on medium heat until thickened.  Add in chicken and veggies.  Stir until warmed through. ***


Apple:

1/3 cup water
3 t sugar (or substitute)
1 t corn starch
1/2 t cinnamon
sprinkle salt
1/2 t lemon juice
2 Fuji apples (peeled and chopped into chunks)
*** On stove top, mix first 6 ingredients on medium heat until bubbly.  Add apples. Heat for around 10 minutes until apples are just soft. ***

Strawberry Rhubarb:

1 cup chunked Rhubarb
2 cups chunked Strawberry
1/2 t lemon juice
1 t vanilla
1/2 t cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar (or substitute)
1/4 cup water
2 t cornstarch
*** On stove top, mix all ingredients on medium heat for about 10 minutes. ***


Putting it all together:
Egg roll wrappers
Non-stick spray
Butter spray
Aluminum foil (if desired)
*** Take 1 egg roll wrapper.  Wet all edges of the wrapper.  Scoop filling of choice onto one side of wrapper. Fold other side over and using a fork, seal the pocket.  Place on pan that has been coated with non-stick spray.  Spritz butter spray on top of pocket.  Bake 18 minutes or so on 350F.***


What I learned:  These are a little tough.  The egg roll wrapper just isn't flaky and delicious. The fillings are good, although the strawberry rhubarb is a bit too runny for it.  The entire pie is flat when done. Now, I have a huge pack of egg roll wrappers and I don't know what to do with them!  Ideas???
