Roll out pie crusts on a surface that has been lightly floured. Spread out a little to make it flat. Cut circles out of the pie crusts with a round cutter or the edge of a glass. On one half of each circle, put a spoonful of the chicken mix. To make a half-moon shape, fold the other half of the circle over the filling. Use a fork to press the edges together to seal.
