Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
• ½ pound bacon, cut into thirds
• 2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 (9 ounce) package frozen cooked chicken breast strips, thawed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble into smaller pieces. Reserve drippings in the skillet.

Step 3

Cook onions and apples in the same skillet until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken strips, jalapeno jelly, thyme, and salt.

Step 4

Unfold puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 9x10-inch rectangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Spread chicken mixture over the pastry, leaving 1 inch around the edges. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and black pepper. Press edges with a fork, forming a decorative border.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with bacon. Continue baking until pastry is golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with parsley.
