MINI CHICKEN TURNOVERS (OAMC)



Mini Chicken Turnovers (Oamc) image

These are some great little appetizers that I found online ages ago. I've served them at birthday parties and holiday parties. They can also be made ahead and frozen, see notes below. I haven't tried that yet, there have never been enough left, but if you try it, let me know if the times are accurate!

Time 50m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons chopped onions
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped very fine
3 tablespoons chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature, cubed
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup butter, chilled
5 tablespoons cold water

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.

It was a hit at my house, I hope it is at yours too!(:" (thanks cbw)
