Southwest Chicken Pockets image

Black beans, convenient chicken strips and chiles star in a feisty new role in these loaded pockets. Eat them out of hand (or with a fork if you feel civilized)! Serve a little salsa on the side for an extra burst of flavor. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Not bad, but not great. I found the chicken to be a bit dry.

These were okay, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of cheese. The mozzarella was a bit too gooey for my taste.

These were so easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the air fryer. The flavors were spot on and my husband and kids loved them.

These chicken pockets were a huge hit with my family! The flavors were incredible, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a complete meal.
