PESTO CHICKEN TURNOVERS

When it comes to food, I'm all about anything in a pocket-pita bread, bierocks, empanadas and more. These Italian-inspired turnovers are great for dinner and even better the next day. For smaller ones, use a single crescent roll with a level tablespoon of filling. -Greg Munoz, Sacramento, California

5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN PESTO SOUP

Although this soup is made with just five ingredients, the cooking technique packs the soup with flavor. You start by poaching bone-in chicken thighs in chicken broth, which amps up the flavor of the broth and leaves you with meat so tender, it practically falls off the bone. A swirl of pesto at the end delivers a cheesy, herby hit and turns the soup a vibrant green.

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large pot and cover with the broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken from the pot to a cutting board. Skim the surface of the broth with a slotted spoon to remove any skin that's floated to the surface. Remove the meat from the chicken bones and shred with two forks; discard the skin. Add the meat back to the pot along with the spinach.
  • Turn the heat to medium until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Swirl the pesto into the soup and season with salt.

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 thighs)
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups tightly packed spinach (3 ounces)
1/2 cup pesto
Kosher salt

  • First, prepare the spinach walnut pesto. Combine the spinach, garlic, walnuts, and parmesan in the bowl of a food processor. Run it for 30 seconds until the mixture becomes well ground and melded. Let it continue to run as you slowly pour in the olive oil until it is a gorgeous pesto sauce. Remove the blade and set the sauce aside.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms. The oily tomatoes will naturally lubricate the pan! Let the veggies soften and get fragrant for a few minutes. Then add the chicken and let it cook through for about 6-8 minutes. Season with the salt and dried basil. Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in the pesto sauce to finish the filling, letting it bubble for a minute. Take the pan off of the heat and set it aside.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Take the first sheet of puff pastry and cut it in half down its length to get two crusts. Scoop a very generous spoonful of the filling on one half of the first puff pastry sheet half. Add a slice of the smoked mozzarella on top of the filling, then bring the other half over to enclose it. Pinch the edges together firmly. Press down with a fork around the edges to finish the first turnover.
  • Repeat the process with the next 7 halves of puff pastry sheets to make 8 turnovers total. Transfer 4 turnovers to each of the lined sheet trays. In a bowl, whisk the egg and water together to make an egg wash. Brush each turnover with the egg wash, then get the two trays into the oven to bake for about 20 minutes.
