Here's what you need: warm water, yeast, sugar, all-purpose flour, sea salt, olive oil, shredded cheddar cheese, broccoli, shredded chicken breast, olive oil

Provided by Camille Bergerson

Categories Dinner

Yield 8 pockets

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups warm water
2 ¼ teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 1 additional teaspoon
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
1 ½ cups broccoli, steamed
1 ½ cups shredded chicken breast
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes cloudy and slightly foamy.
Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the bowl with the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes.
Wipe the large bowl clean and lightly coat with remaining oil. Place the dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel.
Set in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC), and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
Once risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch the dough into a 12x22-inch (30x56 cm) rectangle.
Layer the cheddar, broccoli, and chicken in the center of the rectangle, lengthwise, leaving 1-2 inches (2 ½-5 cm) on the top and bottom.
Slice the dough in half through the center, lengthwise.
Fold each piece's center edge towards the outer edge and pat down, creating a long roll-up.
Slice each roll into 4-5 equal pieces. Pinch the edges closed on all the pieces and place on sheet tray.
Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
Serve immediately or allow to cool, then freeze in an airtight container up to 1-2 months.
To reheat, microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
Enjoy!

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR POCKETS

Broccoli-Cheddar Pockets image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 3/4 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 5 ounces)
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Vegetable oil, for brushing
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 11-ounce tube refrigerated French bread dough
1 large egg

Steps:

Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool; pat dry. Mix the broccoli, cheddar, sour cream and chives in a bowl until combined, then squeeze the mixture together with your hands to make it compact.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and brush a baking sheet lightly with vegetable oil. On a floured surface, roll out the dough and fill the dinner pockets. (See Cook's Note for step-by-step directions.)
Place the pockets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; brush the pockets with the egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality broccoli for the best flavor.
Be sure to cut the broccoli into small florets so that they cook evenly.
Don't overcook the broccoli, or it will become mushy.
Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry dough, or it will tear.
Be sure to seal the edges of the pockets well, or the filling will leak out.
Bake the pockets until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serve the pockets warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
