BBQ CHICKEN POCKETS
This is a really easy recipe to make, and the result is equivalent to a gourmet "Hot Pocket"! I use BBQ chicken as my fiance loves it, but if you are creative, this could be modified to fit your tastes, and stuffed with other combos like ham and cheese, eggs and bacon...you name it!

BBQ CHICKEN POCKETS
Steps:
- 1. Place chicken in a baking dish, pour bbq sauce over chicken, cover dish with foil and bake at 400 for 1 hour.
- 2. Remove dish from oven and shred cooked chicken in the dish. Stir the shredded chicken pieces in the sauce so they are all nicely coated with the bbq sauce.
- 3. Cut pie crust rolls into 4 halfs then spread each open on large baking sheet.
- 4. Put the cheese on 1/2 of each of the pie crust pieces. Top with the shredded chicken. Fold half of the pie crust over the half with the chicken and cheese. Then seal the edges.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes, until pie crust is cooked.
Tips:
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- Use a sharp knife to make a deep pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill the chicken pockets with your favorite fillings, such as BBQ sauce, cheese, bacon, or vegetables.
- To prevent the filling from leaking out, seal the pockets with a toothpick or skewer.
- Grill the chicken pockets over medium heat until cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Serve the chicken pockets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
