New Recipe: Chicken Bacon Ranch Pockets

Another great recipe found on Pinterest. Michael hates having the same thing all the time, so I'm always looking for new, quick and easy weeknight meals. This definitely fits the bill. I used a rotisserie chicken which was easy and it added a lot of flavor. They were really yummy and they re-heat well for leftovers as well!

Ingredients
1 pizza dough or bread dough

2 chicken breasts, cooked, chopped (I used white meat with the skin removed from rotisserie chicken)

4 -5 slices bacon, cooked, chopped

½ t. dried parsley

1 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded

¼ c. Ranch dressing 

2 T. butter, melted

¼ c. Parmesan cheese, shredded

½ t. dried parsley
* I also added a little onion powder and garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350. 
2. Mix chicken, bacon, ½ t. parsley, mozzarella cheese and dressing.

3. Divide dough into 2 equal piles. Roll each pile into a 12”x12” rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, cut each square into 6 equal portions. 

4. Place 2-3 tablespoons of chicken mixture in the middle of each portion of dough. 
5. Fold dough edges to center and seal tightly. 

6. Turn filled dough over, seam side down onto parchment lined baking sheet. 
7. Brush tops with melted butter and top with mixture of Parmesan cheese and parsley. 

8. Bake for 20-25 minutes till golden brown. Cool on racks till warm enough to handle.
