Well these didn't turn out as pretty as I had hoped. I had a hard time getting the puff pastry to stay wrapped around the chicken and when they were cooking they just busted open. Regardless, these were delicious! Hubby was very vocal in his admiration, but what man doesn't like chicken, bacon and cheese? In my delight to eat these I forgot to take a picture. Oops!
Chicken, Bacon and Cheddar Turnovers
adapted from Rachael Ray Magazine
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
Extra sharp cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet.
Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and brown the chicken on each side for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set the skillet aside.
Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal parts and roll each out into an 8 inch square.
Place a chicken breast on each square toward one corner. Top with a few slices of cheese and some bacon. Fold the pastry in half to create a triangle and pinch the edges closed. Brush the top with the reserved olive oil from your skillet. Using a sharp knife, cut 2 small slits in the top to allow steam to vent.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Enjoy!
