BBQ Chicken Pockets

Submitted by AKelly

"This is a really easy recipe to make, and the result is equivalent to a gourmet "Hot Pocket"! I use BBQ chicken as my fiance loves it, but if you are creative, this could be modified to fit your tastes, and stuffed with other combos like ham and cheese, eggs and bacon...you name it!"

I gave this recipe 3 stars. I made this for Spring 2009 PAC. This recipe got mixed reviews in my house. My future hubby and 6 yr old newphew didn't really like these. The 6 yr old is picky about everything and my future hubby doesn't like pulled pork and these tasted just like pulled pork. He did say he liked the idea of these. My 7 yr old niece and I really liked these except she didn't like the cheese in them. I made these for my families lunch. I followed the recipe exactly except I added 2 more slices of bacon split up. I doubled the recipe when I made these and so didn't need to double the filling. I did not double the egg and one was plenty. My notes of this is 2 tablespoons is way to much filling as when you close these pockets the filling comes out and the dough doesn't like to close after getting the BBQ sauce on them, but on the other hand 1 tablespoon isn't enough. So overall I think I'll try the suggestion of trying different fillings maybe make breakfast fillings. Thanks for posting a good recipe! Christine (internetnut)
