I found this recipe, on Pinterest. I thought it would be a great, filling lunch, for my boys. In the morning, when I am packing their lunches, I will toss the aluminum foil-wrapped pockets into the toaster oven, to warm them up. I sprayed the aluminum foil with some cooking spray, so they don't stick to the foil.
My 10 year old helped me make these, and I cut the assembly time, in half!
I think these would be great with any leftover veggies and meat, you have. Mix with some "Cream of..." soup, and put them into the pockets. Let me know what variations you come up with!
Chicken Pot Pockets
Ingredients:
12 large square egg roll wrappers (found in the refrigerated section of the supermarket with the other Asian items)
One 10.75-oz. can 98% fat-free cream of celery condensed soup ( I used this recipe, and hydrated it.)
2 cups frozen bite-sized mixed veggies, I used a frozen mixed bag, and didn't defrost them.)
1 cooked skinless lean chicken breast, finely chopped
1 tsp. cornstarch
Optional: salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small dish, mix cornstarch thoroughly with 1 tsp. cold water. In a large bowl, combine cornstarch mixture with soup, and mix thoroughly. Add veggies and chicken, mix well, and then season to taste with salt and pepper, if you like. This is your filling. Set aside.
On a parchment paper covered baking sheet, lay out three egg roll wrappers. Set out a small dish of water, dip your finger into it, and then run your finger along all of the wrapper edges -- repeat this as needed while preparing your pockets, as it will help keep them sealed.
Starting about 1/2 inch from the bottom, place 2 - 3 tbsp. of filling along the bottom half of each wrapper, leaving a 1/2-inch border on both sides. Fold the top half of each wrapper over, so that the top edge meets the bottom -- the mixture should be completely encased with a 1/2-inch border on three sides. Dab each border with water, and fold each inward about 1/4 inch to lightly seal all sides. Press firmly along the borders with the prongs of a fork to seal completely.
Repeat the entire process 3 more times, so that you have 12 pockets on the baking sheet. If needed, prepare and use an additional baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. (I wrapped them in aluminum foil, to re-heat for the boys' lunches.)
