These pockets are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend and then use it to make these pockets during the week.

The pockets were a bit dry. I think I would add some more liquid to the filling next time.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I think it could be improved with some clearer instructions.

The curry flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, but I still enjoyed the pockets.

The recipe was easy to follow and the pockets turned out great. I used a store-bought puff pastry dough to save time.

These curried chicken pockets were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and moist, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again.
