Chicken Thyme Turnovers

Mom and Cameron wanted me to enter this recipe contest. I was going to, but they wanted a 100 word limit for the directions. I couldn't cut it down enough. Here is my recipe. It came from not going shopping and wondering what to have for dinner. I grabbed some stuff from the pantry. Cameron said, "What are you making." I said, "Chicken turnover thingys; hopefully. It may be a pizza night." He laughed and said ok. Long story short and lots of creativity later, these came out of the oven. He LOVED them! Sorry, no picture. Hope you enjoy.
