Caprese chicken turnovers

Ingredients

400 g boneless chicken breast
2 medium tomatoes
5-6 slices mozzarella
Fresh basil to taste
Single cream as needed
Salt to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
1 egg, beaten
White sesame seeds to decorate

1 packet of "obleas para empanadillas"  I don't know if you can find this product out of Spain. But you can use puff pastry cut  into circles or another homemade dough for filling.


Directions

Cut the chicken breast into small cubes.
Grate the tomatoes. Set aside.

In a skillet over high heat, add a dash of extra virgin olive oil and saute the chicken pieces.
When chicken is done add the grated tomato, season with salt and stir to cook.


Then add some finely chopped fresh basil leaves. If you don�t have fresh basil you can use dried.

Pour some single cream and stir until mixture thickens. 

Add the slices of mozzarella cut into small pieces. Stir to melt the cheese and mix well.
Taste and add more salt if necessary.

Finally let the mixture cool slightly before filling the puff pastry.



Fill each puff pastry circle with a little of mixture, fold it in half and seal it with the tines of a fork or using a mold.

Place them on a baking tray and paint with beaten egg, decorate with sesame seeds and bake at 350�F (180�c) until are golden.


And enjoy!

Mohammad Hafeez was suspended from bowling after being suspended from the team, and Junaid Khan disappeared due to injury, he went into the event on a feather and a prayer in hopes of making things like this. Umar Akmal was the wicketkeeper, who started in spite of being in the team of Sarfraz Ahmed, and his fifth bowling option was Haris Sohail, whom Coach Waqar Younis desperately worked, making him a left-arm spinner who provided 10 overs can do.
