Pesto Chicken Turnovers image

When it comes to food, I'm all about anything in a pocket-pita bread, bierocks, empanadas and more. These Italian-inspired turnovers are great for dinner and even better the next day. For smaller ones, use a single crescent roll with a level tablespoon of filling. -Greg Munoz, Sacramento, California

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I still enjoyed these turnovers. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the crust was flaky.

These turnovers were a bit too greasy for my liking. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

These turnovers were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add more pesto and cheese next time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more salt to the filling. Other than that, it's perfect!

I love that these turnovers can be made ahead of time and then baked just before serving. It makes them perfect for busy weeknights.
