Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, making a total of 8 squares.
Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally into a triangle, covering the filling. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg to help them turn golden brown during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, either on their own or with a side salad!
