Mini Chicken Turnovers Recipe

  • FILLING:
  • 3 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 3/4 cups shredded, cooked chicken
  • 3 tablespoons chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
  • PASTRY:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 4 tablespoons cold water
  1. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in chicken, broth, seasonings and cream cheese; set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Prick tops with a fork. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
