Preparation

Baking Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.

Combine chicken with salsa in a medium bowl.

Add 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Mix well and set aside.

Roll out dough into a large rectangle of even thickness.

Cut lengthwise into two even pieces.

Cut each piece widthwise into thirds, leaving you with 6 rectangular pieces of dough.

Stretch or roll out each rectangle a bit.

Evenly distribute chicken mixture among the centers of dough.

Arrange one of the pieces of dough so that the shorter sides are on the right and left.

Fold and stretch the lower left corner to meet the upper right corner.

Press edges firmly to enclose the chicken mixture.

Using a fork dipped in water, press edges to crimp and seal.

Transfer to the baking sheet and repeat with remaining ingredients.

Bake in the oven until dough is golden brown, about 12 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly and enjoy!
