Introduction

These are nice appetizers in the shape of a halfmoon. They're crispy outside with a creamy chicken filling.
It takes a while to make the whole batch but they last a long time as they are frozen and you only bake as many as are needed.

    Delicious. A lot of work initially, but it makes enough that you dont have to do it often. Will definitely be making again.
    I used Panko instead of cornflakes
