Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup California dates (chopped)
  • 1/2 Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Margarine
  • 2 tbsp Fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Apricot nectar
  • 1 cup Chicken (cooked and shredded)
  • 1/3 cup Walnuts (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 package Pie crusts (two 9" crusts)
  • 1 tbsp Powdered sugar
Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a skillet, cook the onion in butter until soft. 

  2. Stir in ginger, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, cumin, salt, and pepper. 

  3. Stir in apricot nectar; cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until thick and syrupy. 

  4. Stir in chicken, walnuts, cilantro, and dates; cool slightly.

  5. Cut each pie crust into six triangle slices. Spread about 1/4 cup chicken mixture over each triangle of dough. Top with another triangle slice, tightly sealing edges with a fork; repeat to make six filled triangles.  

  6. Make several small slits on top of triangles. Place on a baking sheet; bake for about 15 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. 

  7. Combine remaining 1/4 tsp cinnamon and powdered sugar; sift over hot triangles.
