Crites Family Stuff

Description

These were served at Becca's wedding reception.

Ingredients for 24 servings

• .5 cup finely shredded carrots
• 3 tbsp chopped onion
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1.75 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 3 tbsp chicken broth
• .25 tsp garlic salt
• .25 poultry seasoning
• .25 black pepper
• 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (or variation of 1/2 tsp chipotle seasoning)
• 4 oz cream cheese, diced

Pastry:

• 1.5 cup flour
• .5 tsp salt
• .5 tsp paprika
• 1 cup butter, chilled
• 5 tbsp cold water

Steps

1. In a large skillet, saute carrots and onion in butter until tender. Stir in chicken, broth, seasonings and cream cheese. Remove from heat. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 375F.
3. In a large bowl mix together flour, salt, and paprika. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. On a floured surface, roll out pastry to 1/16 inch thick. Cut with a 2 1/2 inch round cookie cutter. Re-roll scraps and cut until pastry is gone.
4. Mound a heaping tsp of filling on half of each circle. Moisten edges with water and fold pastry over the filling to make a half moon shape. Press edges with a fork to seal. Prick tops with a fork for steam vents. Place turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
