Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped or shredded cooked rotisserie chicken
1/3 cup mini pepperoni
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach
2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup homemade or store-bought marinara sauce
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 pound homemade or store-bought pizza dough
1 large egg
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon pizza seasoning or dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, pepperoni, spinach, cheese and 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce, stirring until combined.
  • Sprinkle your work surface with all-purpose flour. Roll the pizza dough into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise. Cut each smaller rectangle into three 4-inch squares for a total of 6 squares.
  • Divide the chicken mixture among the dough squares, placing it in the bottom corner of each square and leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges.
  • Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl, then brush the two edges of each dough square nearest the filling with the egg wash. Fold the unfilled side of each dough square over the filling and very firmly pinch the two pieces together. Arrange the pizza pockets on the prepared baking sheet, then brush the tops with the egg wash. Sprinkle them with the Parmesan cheese, then cut a small slit in the top of each pizza pocket.
  • Bake the pizza pockets for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden and the dough is fully baked. Remove the pizza pockets from the oven, sprinkle them with the pizza seasoning and serve them with the remaining 1/2 cup of marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use a pizza dough that is easy to work with. A pre-made pizza dough from the store will work just fine, or you can make your own dough using a simple recipe.
  • Don't overfill the pizza pockets. If you put too much filling in the pockets, they will be difficult to seal and will likely burst open while baking.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pizza pockets. They should be cooked until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the pizza pockets with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or even just plain ketchup are all great options.
  • Get creative with your fillings. You can use any type of cheese, meat, or vegetables that you like. Some popular fillings include pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
