Pesto Chicken Turnovers

Like a hot pocket...but, you know.... good. 


Pesto Chicken Turnovers
Adapted from Sheet Pan Dinners
Makes 8 Turnovers
  • 1 box frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup pesto
  • 1 cup frozen peas, unthawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesesan
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.

On a floured surface, unfold the puff pastry sheets and cut into each sheet into four pieces.  Use a rolling pin to roll each piece to a 7in by 9in rectangle. Place on parchment paper and set in the refridgerator to keep cool.

Mix together chicken, pesto, and peas in a medium bowl.  Place 1/2 cup of the chicken filling onto the bottom half of each pastry rectangle. Leave a small border on the bottom.  Fold the top half of the pastry over the filing, lining up the edges.  Press the edges with a fork to seal the turnover.

Brush each one iwth a beaten egg. Then sprinkle Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Bake each pan for 25 to 30 minutes until the turnovers are a light golden brown.  Serve hot.
