Brooke's Accidental Chicken Turnovers

One night I was going through one of my favorite magazines, Real Simple, and trying to find a recipe to make that night for dinner. A recipe for sweet potato and Gruyere turnovers caught my eye. The problem? My fiance Brian doesn't like to try new foods and he wasn't fond of the sweet potatoes. I had also thawed some chicken and needed to cook it that night.

So, without really knowing what I was doing, I attempted to adapt the recipe and make it into something my fiance would eat, with chicken. We were both pleasantly surprised when the turnovers came out of the oven smelling delicious and tasting incredible. It's now one of Brian's favorite things I cook.

Be warned, this recipe makes enough to feed at least six people but you can cut down the ingredients to make enough for only two.

To make these turnovers you will need the following:

• 2 refrigerated rolled pie crust (although you may want 4, as I said this makes a lot)
• 4 large potatoes, or a small bag of small Yukon golden potatoes depending on what you have around the house
• 1 medium sized onion
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic Salt
• Onion and herb seasoning
• Herbs De Provence 
• 1 egg
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese
