Chicken, Bacon and Gruyere Turnovers

Looking for a quick and impressive appetizer, lunch, or light dinner? Look no further than these delightful Savory Chicken Bacon Gruyere Turnovers! They're bursting with flavor, thanks to a combination of juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and nutty gruyere cheese, all wrapped in a flaky puff pastry crust.



These turnovers are incredibly versatile. They can be served hot or at room temperature, making them perfect for potlucks, game days, or simply a weeknight treat. Plus, they're a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken.




Here's what makes these turnovers so special:

  • Simple Ingredients: You don't need a ton of fancy ingredients to create these crowd-pleasers.
  • Easy to Assemble: The recipe comes together quickly, with minimal prep and cooking time.
  • Endless Variations: Feel free to get creative with the filling! Add your favorite vegetables, herbs, or cheeses.
  • Perfect Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the turnovers ahead of time and bake them just before serving.



Ingredients:

1 sheet of puff pastry

½ pound of bacon

1/2 pound of boneless chicken breast

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Brie cheese (I like to use the individually wrapped triangles) 

Shredded swiss or gruyere cheese




Directions:

Crisp bacon to your preference and drain on a paper towel.

Slice chicken into strips.

In a medium saucepan add olive oil and chicken breast strips. Cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes or until cooked through.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Roll out the puff pastry and cut into triangle shapes. You want to get about 8 triangles from 1 sheet. 

Layer chicken and bacon onto 4 of the triangles of puff pastry.

Add a wedge of brie and a generous pinch of shredded gruyere or swiss cheese.

Top with the remaining 4 triangles of dough and press the edges together, like you might a pie crust.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.

Serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.




Tips for Success:

  • Thaw the puff pastry completely: This will prevent it from tearing when you fold it.
  • Don't overfill the turnovers: Leave a little space around the edges for sealing.
  • Let them cool slightly: The filling will be very hot right out of the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before devouring.


These Savory Chicken Bacon Gruyere Turnovers are sure to become a new favorite. With their irresistible flavor and ease of preparation, they're a recipe you'll come back to time and time again. So, fire up your oven and get ready to enjoy!
