Cook chicken in a pot until fully cooked; shred and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; sauté onions and garlic until translucent.

Add diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, carrots, and peas; cook until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in shredded chicken, heavy cream, and cream cheese; mix until well combined and creamy.

Season with salt, black pepper, and parsley; remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine flour and butter; mix until crumbly.

Add egg and mix until a dough forms; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Roll out remaining dough and cover the filling; seal edges and cut slits for steam.
