Instructions
Make the Filling
- In a bowl, mix chicken, cream cheese, and mozzarella. Add jalapenos, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Pastry

Brush with Egg Wash
- Beat one egg. Use a brush to spread it on top of each pastry.
Bake the Pockets
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pockets on a baking tray with parchment paper. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden.
Serve and Enjoy
- Let them cool for a few minutes. The cheese will be gooey and hot. Enjoy them plain or with a dip.
Notes
