MMMARINATED TOMATO
Preheat the oven to 180°C. To a salad bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and red wine vinegar, and toss through the baby tomatoes. Season and set aside.
FOR THE POCKETS & FILLING
Rest the dough ball/s on the countertop. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, roughly chop, season, and set aside.
CREAMY, CHEESY Chicken
To a bowl, combine the Chicken, ½ the chives, jalapenos, cream cheese, and the cheddar. Season and mix to combine.
HOMEMADE GOODNESS
Dust a countertop with flour, then gently roll the dough ball/s into a round shape. Add the creamy filling to the one side of the dough. Fold the dough over, pinching the edges together to seal it.
BAKE UNTIL GOLDEN
Once the dough has rested slightly, lightly brush the top of the pastry with milk or egg. Place on a lightly greased roasting tray. Bake in the hot oven until golden, 20-25 minutes. Return to the oven.
ARTICHOKE SALAD
To the bowl with the marinated tomatoes, add the salad leaves, artichokes, and Cucumber.
