These Thai pies are handheld treats that have elements of both savory and sweet flavors. The peanut sauce and shredded chicken provide a hearty and protein-rich base, while the fresh vegetables add a crisp crunch. These pies can be enjoyed as a snack or a light meal on their own, or served with a side salad or some sliced fruit for a more balanced meal. They can also be customized with additional vegetables or spices to suit your taste preferences.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2.	Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brush a muffin tin with the oil.

4.	Spoon 1 tablespoon of peanut sauce into each cup. Distribute the shredded chicken evenly among the cups.
5.	Top the chicken with a little carrot and green onion. Add 1 ounce of shredded cheese to each cup.
6.	Bake for 25 minutes.
