Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 33 minutes
Yield: 8 pizza pockets

Ingredients

• 1 refrigerated pizza dough tube
• 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup crispy bacon crumbles
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Directions

1. Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the pizza dough and slice it into evenly sized rectangles.
3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, ranch dressing, mozzarella, cheddar, bacon pieces, and garlic powder until well mixed.
4. Place a generous spoonful of the filling onto one side of each dough rectangle.
5. Fold the dough over the filling to create pockets, then press the edges firmly to seal.
6. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pockets are puffed and lightly browned.
8. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Helpful Tips

• Crimp the edges with a fork to keep the filling from leaking during baking.
• Pair with extra ranch dressing as a dipping sauce.
• For extra heat, mix in sliced jalapeños or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
