Ingredients

1 - 12.5 oz. can of Chicken Breast or 2 cooked chicken breasts - shredded 

1/2 Pkg. (4 oz.) Cream Cheese

1 Cup Shredded Mexican Cheese or Cheddar

1 Pgk. Pie Crust Mix or homemade dough for 2 crust pie 

2 Tbs.Taco Seasoning 

1/4 Tsp. Salt & Pepper

1/2 Cup Hot Sauce of your choice...I'm using Cholula

Blue Cheese Dressing

Hot or Mild Salsa for dipping 

Celery Sticks - Optional


Directions 


(See Pics Below)

1.  In small bowl melt cream cheese in microwave - approximately 25 seconds on High.

2.  Add chicken, taco seasoning, hot sauce, shredded cheese, S & P and combine well.

3.  Prepare dough as directed (or use your own)... Roll 1/2 out on flat surface.  Draw lines on crust where you want "Pockets" to be formed - you can do triangles, squares...or whatever shape you like. 

4.  Place Chicken filling 1/4 inch inside lines on dough. 

5.  Roll out remaining half of dough & cover your pockets. 

6.  With a pizza cutter or an edged roller - like I used....cut your pockets equally.  If you're using an edged roller, it will seal the seams for you.  If you use a pizza cutter....you'll need to pinch edges together yourself. 

8.  Bake for 15 minutes...then turn over & bake for an additional 15 minutes until slightly golden. 

9.   Remove from oven, Turn oven Off & Place Pockets on a serving platter with Your Salsa & Blue Cheese Dressings for dipping! 

10.  ENJOY!
