Chicken Pockets image

My Mother-in-Law used to make these after Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with the left over turkey. I got the recipe from her and does what every cook does, altered it a bit and made it my own. I like it so much, I find myself going to Costco and getting a few of those 'Rotisserie Chickens" and not waiting for them to be...

Categories     Turkey

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3-4 oz cream cheese
3 Tbsp butter, melted
2 c chicken, cooked and cut up, left overs works great
2 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp green onion, whites and green parts sliced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1 pkg refrigerated crescent rolls or
4 rhodes rolls or other frozen roll dough thawed, or
fresh yeast dough of your choice

Steps:

  • 1. If using packaged crescents rolls, form squares with 2 pieces by pinching together one long edge. May also use your own fresh roll dough or other favorite frozen roll dough, thawed. Just roll them out thin.
  • 2. Mix together Cream Cheese Chicken, Milk, Salt, Pepper, Garlic, and green onion/chives slices, leaving the chicken in small chunks, and the cream cheese as well.
  • 3. Divide mixture between the 4 prepared roll squares. Pinch together the edges forming a pocket. If using frozen yeast dough, pockets will be more round, instead of the square-ish shape of the crescent rolls. Place on a baking sheet, I line with Parchment, Brush with melted Butter.
  • 4. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve with cranberry sauce if desired.
  • 5. These can be pre-prepared and frozen. After you have mixed the filling, and filled the pockets, place on a parchment paper square, brush with melted butter, gently fold paper around pocket, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. To bake these from FROZEN, place in a covered shallow casserole dish and bake in a 350 oven, covered for 40-45 minutes, then uncovered for 20-25 minutes more, brush with butter when you take the lid off. Serve with cranberry sauce.

These chicken pockets are a family favorite! My kids love them and they are always asking me to make them. I usually make a double batch so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

These chicken pockets were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would marinate the chicken in some buttermilk or yogurt next time.

The chicken pockets were a little bland. I think I would add some more seasoning to the breading next time.

These chicken pockets were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.
