Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the crust:
- 2 potatoes
- 450g flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200ml warm water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
For the filling:
- 1 chicken fillet (cooked and shredded)
- ½ onion (chopped)
- ½ bell pepper (optional)
- 100g mozzarella cheese
- 150g cheddar cheese
- 2 pickled cucumbers (sliced thinly)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
How to Make It:
Start by preparing the dough: mix flour, salt, sugar, warm water, and oil until smooth. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook and shred the chicken breast. Mix it with chopped onions, bell pepper (if using), and both cheeses. Set aside.
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each one out into a circle. Place a spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture in the center of each dough round. Add a few slices of pickled cucumber on top, then fold and seal the edges to form a turnover.
Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 15–20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
The result? A warm, cheesy, flavorful snack that hits all the right notes — salty, savory, and slightly tangy from the pickles. It’s like a homemade chicken calzone but even tastier!
This family-friendly recipe is not only fast and easy but also customizable. Swap the chicken for ground meat or veggies if preferred, or add your favorite spices and herbs for extra flavor.
Whether you’re cooking for your kids after school, prepping a quick lunch, or serving guests last minute, this dish is sure to impress. So go ahead — give it a try and enjoy a snack that feels special but takes just 10 minutes to prep!
