Creamy chicken and bacon turnovers recipe

Step 1

Heat oil in a nonstick frypan over medium heat. Cook chicken and bacon for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for a further minute. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk to create a smooth sauce. Allow to simmer and thicken for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir through cheese. Add chicken and bacon mixture to cheese sauce and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 200C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Step 4

Cut each sheet of puff pastry into four squares. Add a spoonful of cooled filling to the centre of the square. Bring two opposite corners of pastry and press together in the centre. Bring the other two corners together and press together the diagonal seams to form a cross on the top of the turnover. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.

Step 5

Brush liberally with beaten egg. Bake for 18 minutes until puffed and golden.
