  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

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

  1. Start by cooking and shredding your chicken breast. Prepare your cheese and marinara sauce, keeping all ingredients within reach.
  2. Roll out the dough to a thin sheet. Cut into approximately 4-inch squares.
  3. Place a spoonful of marinara sauce in the center of each square. Add shredded chicken, cheese, and herbs on top of the sauce.
  4. Fold the dough over to form a pocket and press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork for a secure seal.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil for a golden finish.
  7. 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.
