This is a recipe taken from the Southern Lady—everyone loves these easy-to- make turnovers. They are not only delicious, but beautiful!

Chicken Turnovers

6 oz. cream cheese, softened
5 Tbsp. melted butter, divided
4 cups chopped, cooked chicken
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black ground pepper
2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 Tbsp. coarsely chopped pimento
2 cans crescent roll dough
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs

1) Blend cream cheese & 3 tablespoon butter. Add chicken and next five ingredients–fold together until blended.

2) Unroll crescent roll dough and divide into rectangles (4 per can) pressing together the diagonal perforations.

3) Place rounded 1/2 cup chicken mixture in center of each dough rectangle. Fold dough over filling and pressing edges together to seal.

4) Dip turnovers in remaining melted butter and then roll in bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

These can be assembled ahead of time and then placed in the oven 30 minutes before serving. If you find it difficult for the perforations to “hold together” you may want to try using a rolling pin to gently roll the perforations together.
