Chicken and Mushroom Pockets (Paula Deen) image

This is from the May /June 2009 issue of Paula Deen's magazine under party menus "Meet the Parents Menu" as the appetizer. I made these for my family and guests and they all really enjoyed them. I didn't tell my husband and he said they seemed more upscale than most appetizers. The secret is the filling for the pockets. This is a delightful little mouthful. This is made for a party so it makes a lot of pockets. Enjoy ChefDLH!
