- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and ensure that your pizza pockets are cooked evenly.
- Use a sharp knife: When cutting your chicken and vegetables, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts. This will help your pizza pockets cook evenly and look their best.
