Tiny Chicken Turnovers Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, celery, onion, salt and pepper. Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; top each with chicken mixture. Fold dough over and seal edges. , Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 13-17 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in chicken, broth, seasonings and cream cheese; set aside. , In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and paprika; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. , On a floured surface, roll out pastry to 1/16-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Reroll scraps and cut more circles. Mound a heaping teaspoon of filling on half of each circle. Moisten edges with water; fold pastry over filling and press edges with a fork to seal. , Place on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Prick tops with a fork. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the onions, carrots, and celery with salt and pepper, to taste, until the carrots soften, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently. Add the flour and cook off the raw flavor, about 1 minute more. Turn up the heat to medium-high and deglaze the pan with the wine. Whisk in the stock and Dijon mustard. Add the peas and chicken and cook on a very low simmer until the sauce thickens up into a gravy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, unfold the pastry dough and cut into 4 even squares (cut once horizontally and once vertically). Gently roll out each square, increasing the size of the square by about 20 percent. Place the squares on a baking sheet and spoon the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the squares diagonally to create triangles. Pinch the edges together to create turnovers (use a little water if needed to bind). Press the edges with a fork to create a decorative border. Whisk the egg with a splash of water and brush the turnovers with the egg wash. Cut a small slit in the top to allow the steam to escape during baking. Bake the turnovers until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving as the insides will be very hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese, milk, salt, pepper, pimento, green onion and chopped chicken.
• Separate rolls into 4 6-inch squares.
• Spoon 1/4 of the mixture into each square.
• Bring corners together and seal.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with seasoned bread crumbs.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in frozen vegetables; cook 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables; stir well. Cook 1 minute.
• Beat broth into vegetable mixture with whisk; cook over medium-high heat, beating constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened.
• Stir in chicken, whipping cream, salt and pepper; continue cooking 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, unroll crusts on work surface; lightly roll crusts to make slightly larger. Cut 5-inch diameter circles in crust, reserving scraps to reroll to cut a total of 8 circles. Place on 2 ungreased large cookie sheets.
• Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken filling into each crust; fold over. Press with fork to seal.
• Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the chicken, stock, garlic salt, poultry seasoning, pepper, and cream cheese. Mix until the cream cheese is fully incorporated, then remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl or food processor, mix together the flour, salt, and paprika. Cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form. Gradually add the water until dough forms a ball.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to 1/16 inch thick. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter (or turn a drinking glass upside down!). Reroll scraps and continue cutting circles until dough is used up, taking care not to roll in too much additional flour in the process.
• Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling on half of each pastry round. Moisten edges with water and fold in half to form a half moon. Press edges gently with a fork, then pierce the top of each turnover to vent steam.
• Arrange turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
• ** To freeze: Bake as directed, then allow to cool completely. Place cooled turnovers back on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid. Frozen turnovers may be stored in a freezer bag.
• ** To reheat: Place frozen turnovers on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 5-7 minutes until heated through.
