My aunt recommended this recipe to me. It is delicious and pretty enough to serve to company :)

Chicken Salad Turnovers

Serves 6

1 cup diced cooked chicken breast

1 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup sliced pecans

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

Pepper to taste

1/4 cup grated cheese

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 (10 oz) package frozen puff patty shells, thawed

1 cup hollandaise sauce

Mix first 8 ingredients gently. Roll out patty shells about 1/4 inch thick. Place 2-3 tablespoons chicken mixture in the center of each shell and fold over turnover-style, sealing edges by pressing with a fork. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve turnovers topped with hollandaise. Filling can be made a day in advance.
