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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Step 5
Fold each square diagonally into a triangle, covering the filling. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Step 6
Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Step 7
Brush the tops of the turnovers with the beaten egg to help them turn golden brown during baking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are puffed and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, either on their own or with a side salad!
