Southwest Chicken Turnovers
A quick appy, and perfect for tapas. A great make-ahead and freeze recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely diced, cooked chicken
- 1 red pepper, finely diced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp Louisiana Hot & Spicy Dip Mix
- 2 tbsp chili sauce
- 12 sheets phyllo pastry
- 1⁄2 cup melted butter
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C).
- Combine first 6 ingredients, mixing well.
- Phyllo must be handled with great care since it is very delicate and cracks easily. Carefully unroll and cover with a clean, damp tea towel.
- Phyllo sheets are usually 16" x 22". Lay out 1 sheet and brush lightly with melted butter. Place 2nd sheet on top of first. Using a pizza wheel (or very sharp knife), cut 8 equal strips width-wise.
- To roll, place 1 tbsp of filling on end of strip. Fold corner across to the opposite side, forming a triangle and enclosing the filling. Continue folding as you would a flag (fold forward, fold corner across, forward, across), maintaining triangular shape, to the end of the strip.
- Place on Sheet Pan lined with Sheet Pan Liner. Bake for 15 minutes.
