Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces chicken breast, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup Buffalo sauce
1/2 cup chopped scallions
Store-bought pizza dough
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
4 slices mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and chicken, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes, until fully cooked.
  • Scrape the chicken into a mixing bowl along with the Parmesan, Buffalo sauce and scallions. Mix and then cool for 10 minutes.
  • Roll out pizza dough and cut into four 4-inch squares. Place a slice of mozzarella in the center of each square and top with the filling. Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash and fold over the sides to seal.
  • Place the pockets on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
