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

These turnovers were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I'm not a fan of pesto, but I still enjoyed these turnovers. The chicken filling was so flavorful that it made up for the pesto.

These turnovers were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I will definitely be making them again.

I used a store-bought pesto sauce for this recipe and it turned out great. I can't wait to try it with homemade pesto next time.

The pesto chicken filling was so flavorful and juicy. The turnovers were also perfectly golden brown and crispy.
