Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded

1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 package (1 lb) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.

      Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares measuring approximately 4x4 inches.

        Fill the Dough: Place a generous tablespoon of the creamy chicken Alfredo filling in the center of each dough square. Ensure not to overfill, allowing enough space around the edges to seal the pockets effectively.

          Seal the Pizza Pockets: Carefully fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly together to seal. Then, use a fork to crimp the edges, making sure they are secure to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.

            Apply Egg Wash: Gently brush the tops of the sealed pizza pockets with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden-brown finish once baked.

              Bake: Place the prepared pizza pockets onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza pockets from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. These delightful pockets are best enjoyed warm and can be served with additional Alfredo sauce for dipping.

                  Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Servings: 4-6 (makes 8 pockets)

                    Presentation Tips: Arrange the pizza pockets on a colorful platter and garnish with extra parsley for a fresh look. Serve with small bowls of Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping enjoyment!
