Healthy, Homemade, Chicken Hot Pockets
As a teacher and full-time graduate student, I feel as if I am always eating on the go and/or am too tired to cook once I get home… And this translates to less-than-stellar food choices which in turn makes me feel tired. It’s a vicious cycle.
This break, I’ve been cooking and freezing up a storm in hopes of having healthier alternatives that suit my on-the-go lifestyle.
I made up this super-yummy (easy-to-freeze and store) recipe, and thought all y’all teachers and students on my feed might be interested.
Healthy, Homemade, Chicken Hot Pockets
(I used MyFitnessPal app to get the exact nutritional break-down per serving)
Serves: 8
Calories per serving: 364
Fat per serving: 16.8g
Carbs per serving: 32.8g
Fiber per serving: 2.7g
Sugar per serving: 2.5g
Protein per serving: 21.8g
You will need:
1 package of ground chicken
1 package of fat-free cream cheese
1 cup fresh chopped kale
1 package (2 sheets) of puff pastry dough (in the freezer section)
4 chopped sweet peppers
2.5-3 stems of fresh rosemary
½ tsp of salt
½ tsp of pepper
To-Do:
Open puff pastry dough and allow to thaw
Pre-heat oven to 400 F
Assemble cream cheese, kale, and peppers into large mixing bowl
Brown chicken over medium heat
Rinse chicken (optional) and then pour into mixing bowl
Add rosemary, salt, and pepper
Mix gently with a spoon
Unroll thawed puff pastry dough
Cut each sheet into fourths (you should have 8 total squares)
Spoon about 2-3 Tblsp of chicken mix onto each puff pastry square
Pull the corners of the puff pastry together to seal the pocket
Place about 2 inches away from one another on a cookie sheet
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown
Allow to cool
Store in your method of choice (fridge or freezer)
ENJOY!
Reblogging these delights of Amy’s from 2013 because I’m making them again this week, and I bet a lot of Educhums would enjoy this simple, healthy recipe.
I sub out ground chicken for cubed chicken because ground chicken weirds me out, but they really are delicious and easy. AND they freeze really well. The first time I made them I made like four different varieties and they lasted me at least two months.
