Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package whole wheat pizza dough or low-calorie pre-made pastry sheets
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or spinach
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil spray for baking
Instructions
- Start by cooking and shredding your chicken breast. Prepare your cheese and marinara sauce, keeping all ingredients within reach.
- Roll out the dough to a thin sheet. Cut into approximately 4-inch squares.
- Place a spoonful of marinara sauce in the center of each square. Add shredded chicken, cheese, and herbs on top of the sauce.
- Fold the dough over to form a pocket and press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork for a secure seal.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the tops with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- Allow cooled pockets to reach room temperature before storing to prevent sogginess.
- Store in airtight containers like glass meal prep containers.
- refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Reheat in microwave or oven for a fresh taste.
