Number Of Ingredients 7

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
6 broccoli florets, cut into small pieces, stalks peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (about 2 cups total)
2 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded (about 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 ounces Jarlsberg cheese, coarsely shredded (about 1/3 cup)
4 flour tortillas, (each 8 inches in diameter)
1 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast half (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken; cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool completely. Coarsely chop chicken, and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan fitted with the steamer insert. Add broccoli; cover, and cook until broccoli is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Let cool completely. Coarsely chop broccoli; add to chicken in the bowl. Add cheeses, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well.
  • Place a packed 1/2 cup of chicken mixture in center of each tortilla; shape filling into a horizontal oval. Fold in right and left sides about 1/2 inch, then tightly roll up.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pockets seam down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until crisp and beginning to turn golden, about 12 minutes. Cut in half crosswise, and serve.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the pockets didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

The pockets were a little bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These pockets were a little bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

The recipe was easy to follow and the pockets turned out great. I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time and it worked perfectly.
