These Barbecue Bacon Peach Chicken Turnovers are full of flavor, yet easy enough for any weeknight. Flaky pillows of puff pastry are stuffed with chicken, bacon, cheddar and roasted peaches that are stirred together with a bourbon barbecue sauce.
It’s like the summer, handheld version of chicken pot pie. That statement alone should have you running to the kitchen to make these Barbecue Bacon Peach Chicken Turnovers. Better yet? They’re so easy to make that even though our four month refuses to nap and wants to be held non-stop in the late afternoon, I was still able to get dinner on the table without any problem.
This recipe can be broken down into individual components making it easy to create. During breakfast, I put chicken into the slow cooker. Before lunch, I put the peaches into the oven to roast. While my oldest three were eating their afternoon snack, I put the bacon into the oven. Then when it was time to make dinner, everything was stirred together. Totally doable!
Flaky pillows of puff pastry are stuffed with chicken, bacon, cheddar and roasted peaches that are stirred together with a bourbon barbecue sauce. Yes, you read that correctly. Bourbon barbecue sauce. The same barbecue sauce that I used to create my Grilled Barbecue Bacon Meatloaf Sandwich. If my friends at Robert Rothschild farm were to ever decide to sell their Sweet & Spicy Bourbon BBQ Sauce in large drums, I’d be the first in line to buy one. Tomatoes, mustard, spices, honey and a splash of bourbon combine in this wonderfully flavorful sauce. Love the note of spice and how it’s completely noticeable yet not overpowering whatsoever.
