Chicken Pot Pie Pockets. Comforting and filling after school SNACK that is easy to prepare and kids will LOVE IT!

I just saw a friend of mine post something on Facebook that made me cringe.

“Just finished back to school shopping!”

Whaaaaat?

I haven’t even started thinking about back to school and there are people that are all done? Wow, now that is what I call “being prepared.” I’m only now starting to think of recipes that are perfect for back to school time and haven’t even started thinking about shopping. Even though back to school shopping is weeks away for me, I have a few recipes locked and loaded for you, starting with these yummy Chicken Pot Pie Pockets.

This awesome after school snack is very easy to make, it is very filling, and delicious. I’ve made these pot pie pockets with and combination of Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips and veggies inside a flaky puffed pastry.

To make your life even easier:

~ you can prepare the filling ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to fill the puff pastry cups and bake.

~ you can also use Tyson Grilled and Ready Chicken in the pot pie filling instead of the crispy strips.

~ these chicken pot pie pockets are also re-heatable. Of course, they are not as good reheated as they are fresh from the oven, but will still make a tasty snack.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 8 pockets
Author Lyuba Brooke

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets of puff pastry
  • 3-4 Tyson crispy chicken strips
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil for cooking
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 lg carrot
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 2 lg garlic cloves
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 egg for brushing

Instructions

  1. Defrost puff pastry and cover it so it won't dry out.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 and pre-bake the chicken strips until just done. (Once chicken strips are done, set them aside.)
  3. In a medium cooking pan, preheat oil over medium heat.
  4. Add diced yellow onion and carrots, saute until onion is transparent.
  5. Add peas, corn, and pressed garlic. Stir well and let the veggies cook for a few minutes, until soft.
  6. Sprinkle flour over veggies, mix well and pour in chicken stock and heavy cream while stirring. Add salt and pepper and keep stirring for a couple of minutes, until liquid is thickened. Take off heat.
  7. Dice cooked chicken strips and mix them in with the veggies.
  8. Cut puff pastry sheets in 4 squares each. (You will have 8 squares total.)
  9. Grease muffin pan and gently place each pastry square into muffin cups.
  10. Full each pastry cup with the chicken pot pie filling.
  11. Once the cups are filled, bring the edges of the dough together over the filling and press them together to seal.
  12. Whisk the egg and brush every pot pie pocket top with the egg-wash.
  13. Bake for 27-30 minutes.

    These look like a blessing when dinner isn’t ready yet and children are ready to eat. They would make wonserful lunch munchies as well for a picnic because they would be so easy to transport right in the muffin pans. I’m sharing this with my book club friends at the local library and we will make copies to your credit so we can all make them at home. Yummy and thank you to you, Lyuba.
