Here is how you make Chicken Purses:

In a small bowl combine the chicken, heavy cream, cheeses, orange zest, thyme, carrots, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.On a dry work surface place 8 wonton wrappers. Place a rounded teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash around the chicken mixture. Bring four corners of the wonton square together over the filling to form a purse. Press the edges together tightly to form a seal. Wipe the board with a towel until dry and continue making batches of 8 with the remaining wonton skinsMeanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Addthe purses and cook until they float to the surface, stirring occasionally, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the ravioli.Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet. Turn off the heat, add the cooked pyramids and gently toss. Transfer the pyramids to 2 serving plates. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
