CHICKEN-AND-BROCCOLI POCKETS

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken; cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool completely. Coarsely chop chicken, and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Bring 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan fitted with the steamer insert. Add broccoli; cover, and cook until broccoli is just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Let cool completely. Coarsely chop broccoli; add to chicken in the bowl. Add cheeses, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well.
• Place a packed 1/2 cup of chicken mixture in center of each tortilla; shape filling into a horizontal oval. Fold in right and left sides about 1/2 inch, then tightly roll up.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pockets seam down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until crisp and beginning to turn golden, about 12 minutes. Cut in half crosswise, and serve.

CHICKEN CHEDDAR BROCCOLI POCKETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes cloudy and slightly foamy.
• Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the bowl with the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes.
• Wipe the large bowl clean and lightly coat with remaining oil. Place the dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel.
• Set in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC), and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Once risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch the dough into a 12x22-inch (30x56 cm) rectangle.
• Layer the cheddar, broccoli, and chicken in the center of the rectangle, lengthwise, leaving 1-2 inches (2 ½-5 cm) on the top and bottom.
• Slice the dough in half through the center, lengthwise.
• Fold each piece's center edge towards the outer edge and pat down, creating a long roll-up.
• Slice each roll into 4-5 equal pieces. Pinch the edges closed on all the pieces and place on sheet tray.
• Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
• Serve immediately or allow to cool, then freeze in an airtight container up to 1-2 months.
• To reheat, microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
• Enjoy!
