BBQ CHICKEN POCKETS
This is a really easy recipe to make, and the result is equivalent to a gourmet "Hot Pocket"! I use BBQ chicken as my fiance loves it, but if you are creative, this could be modified to fit your tastes, and stuffed with other combos like ham and cheese, eggs and bacon...you name it!

BBQ CHICKEN POCKETS
Steps:
- 1. Place chicken in a baking dish, pour bbq sauce over chicken, cover dish with foil and bake at 400 for 1 hour.
- 2. Remove dish from oven and shred cooked chicken in the dish. Stir the shredded chicken pieces in the sauce so they are all nicely coated with the bbq sauce.
- 3. Cut pie crust rolls into 4 halfs then spread each open on large baking sheet.
- 4. Put the cheese on 1/2 of each of the pie crust pieces. Top with the shredded chicken. Fold half of the pie crust over the half with the chicken and cheese. Then seal the edges.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, until pie crust is cooked.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a flavorful marinade or seasoning: This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor. Some popular options include barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, or a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and nutrients to your chicken pockets. Some popular options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Don't overload the pockets: If you overload the pockets, they will be difficult to seal and may fall apart during cooking. Aim to fill them with no more than 1/2 cup of filling.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: You can bake, grill, or fry your chicken pockets. Baking is the easiest method, but grilling or frying will give them a crispy exterior.
Conclusion:
Chicken pockets are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of this classic recipe. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken pockets a try!
