Their savory taste is not the only wonderful thing about them. Unbaked, they can be frozen for up to one month, so you can pop a couple in the oven at night for next day's lunch. Ingredients Coarse salt 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound total) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger 4 ½ teaspoons curry powder ½ teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1 ½ cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock ½ cup plain yogurt 4 ½ teaspoons tomato paste ¼ cup applesauce ½ cup frozen peas (not thawed) ¼ cup heavy cream 4 standard sheets puff pastry, thawed 1 large egg, lightly beaten Cucumber Dipping Sauce Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring 1 quart water to a boil in a medium pot; add 1 tablespoon salt and the chicken. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl; let cool. Shred chicken with a fork into 2-inch pieces. Heat oil in a large low-sided stockpot over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in curry powder, cumin, and flour; cook 1 minute. Add stock, and bring to a boil. Stir in yogurt, tomato paste, and applesauce; boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in chicken and peas; cook until mixture is thick, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream and 2 teaspoons salt. Let cool. Lay pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface; cut each into 4 squares. Spoon 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto each square, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush edges with egg; fold squares to form triangles. Press edges to seal. (Unbaked turnovers can be frozen, wrapped in plastic and foil, 1 month; thaw before baking.) Arrange on baking sheets. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with sauce. Rate it Print
