I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I loved these pockets! The spinach and cheese filling was creamy and delicious, and the crescent roll crust was perfect.

These spinach chicken pockets were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my spinach chicken pockets didn't turn out very well. The filling was bland and the crescent roll crust was tough.

These spinach chicken pockets were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add some more sauce or gravy next time.

These spinach chicken pockets were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, and the filling was still very flavorful. The crescent roll crust was also nice and flaky.
