Chicken Pita Pockets

Why buy frozen Hot Pockets® when you can make your own quickly and easily. They taste better and are much better for you too. Even the kids will love this one! To save even more time, buy the precooked chicken breast strips – in the deli section, not frozen.

Ready in 15 minutes or less

Makes enough for 6 pita pockets

Ingredients:

  • ¾ pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 package sliced pepperoni
  • 1 cup spaghetti sauce
  • 3 pita breads (6 inches), halved and warmed
  • 1 bag of shredded Mozzarella
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • In a large skillet, sauté chicken in oil until no longer pink. Add the green pepper and mushrooms; cook until tender. Stir in pepperoni; heat through. Drain excess liquid, then stir in spaghetti sauce and heat through.

    Warm the pita pockets in your microwave – don’t over cook. Stuff the pita bread halves with your heated chicken mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired. For a crisper crust, toast your stuffed pitas in a toaster oven instead of your microwave.
