Number Of Ingredients 7

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
6 broccoli florets, cut into small pieces, stalks peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (about 2 cups total)
2 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded (about 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 ounces Jarlsberg cheese, coarsely shredded (about 1/3 cup)
4 flour tortillas, (each 8 inches in diameter)
1 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast half (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken; cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool completely. Coarsely chop chicken, and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan fitted with the steamer insert. Add broccoli; cover, and cook until broccoli is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Let cool completely. Coarsely chop broccoli; add to chicken in the bowl. Add cheeses, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well.
  • Place a packed 1/2 cup of chicken mixture in center of each tortilla; shape filling into a horizontal oval. Fold in right and left sides about 1/2 inch, then tightly roll up.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pockets seam down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until crisp and beginning to turn golden, about 12 minutes. Cut in half crosswise, and serve.

The sauce was a little too sweet for me. I will try adding less sugar next time.

These pockets were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I will try baking them next time.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken and broccoli pockets were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce was flavorful and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.
