My husband loves chicken piccata. I tried it in a puff pastry pocket with a bit of cream cheese; it tasted sensational. When he took leftovers to work, everyone asked what smelled so great. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

I'm not a huge fan of chicken piccata, but these pockets were really good. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Delicious! I added a little bit of lemon zest to the sauce and it really brightened up the flavor.

These were so easy to make and turned out great! I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and they were still very juicy.

I thought the chicken piccata pockets were just okay. The chicken was a little tough and the sauce was a bit bland.

The chicken piccata pockets were a little dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding more butter or olive oil next time.
