2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix well. Add the cold butter cubes and knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight.
3. The next day, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the green bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, corn kernels, and green chili until they are softened. Add the shredded chicken, salt, pepper, and cook for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
5. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into rectangles for the patties.
6. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling onto one half of each rectangle, leaving space around the edges. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and seal the edges. Make slight diagonal cuts on the folded patties with a knife for that store like look!
7. Place the filled patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased baking tray. Brush patties with egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes on 350 degrees F or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through.
