Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package whole wheat pizza dough or flatbread
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup marinara sauce (low sugar)
- ½ bell pepper, diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: sliced black olives, mushrooms, red onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the filling by mixing shredded chicken, marinara sauce, diced bell pepper, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Roll out the pizza dough into a thin rectangle. Cut into squares or circles as preferred.
- Spoon the filling onto the center of each dough piece. Top with shredded cheese.
- Fold the dough over to form a pocket and seal the edges by pinching or crimping with a fork.
- Place the pockets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Optionally, brush with olive oil before baking for extra crispness.
Notes
- Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- You can customize with different proteins or vegetables such as turkey, tofu, or mushrooms.
- For extra flavor, add red chili flakes or fresh basil before serving.
