Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of whole wheat or low-carb puff pastry
- 1 cup of cooked chicken breast or turkey, shredded
- ½ cup of part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup of tomato sauce or marinara sauce (low sugar preferred)
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- Optional: chopped spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms
- Egg wash (1 beaten egg) for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut into squares or circles.
- Mix the shredded cooked chicken, mozzarella, tomato sauce, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper until well combined. Add vegetables if desired.
- Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each pastry piece. Fold to form a pocket or triangle and press edges to seal. Crimp edges with a fork for extra seal.
- Place pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Rotate the sheet halfway through for even baking.
Notes
- Ensure pockets are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Use lean meats like chicken breast or turkey for maximum protein and lower calories.
- You can add more vegetables for extra fiber and nutrition.
- Reheat leftovers in oven or microwave as needed.
