Chicken Pizza Pockets

So on a day where all I wanted to do was order pizza and sulk, I decided to cook dinner instead. Ultimately, this was supposed to be something completely different, and turn out more like those sandwich rolls you see on finger food platters. Yet, following suit with the rest of my day, things just didn't go as planned- and out popped these delicious little screwed-up morsels. It never ceases to amaze me how making tasty food, even unexpected tasty food, can make any day just bit better. These definitely brought a smile to my face on a day where smiles were few and far between. (I also took a ton of photos!)

Time to prep/cook: 25/10 minutes
Servings: I'm a hog so this was about 2 servings.... (granted its still less than the amount I'd have eaten if I'd ordered pizza for myself)

Ingredients:

  • Can of pop apart biscuits (used Kroger's $0.88 homestyle biscuits)
  • Premade spaghetti sauce 
  • Assorted Cheeses (I used about 2 slices of presliced pepperjack cheese, and about 6 thick slices of american cheddar)
  • Grilled/Rotessiere Chicken pulled apart into small pieces
  • Ground garlic, oregano, basil, and marjoram
  • Minced garlic in olive oil (again from the tub I bought from kroger)

 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Hand pull a breast of grilled/rotisserie chicken into 1/2 inch length pieces no thicker than a pencil (You'll need about 1-1.5 cups of the pulled apart chicken)
    **Thanks to my "Pa-In-Law" for the smoked delicious chicken that I used**
  3. Roll/stretch out a biscuit till its about the length of your hand (from the tip of your middle finger to the base of the palm)
  4. Spread a thin layer of the spaghetti sauce across the length of the biscuit (you should be able to see the biscuit through the sauce)
  5. Break apart and put some small pieces of cheddar scattered in the sauce
  6. Then add a small layer of chicken across the biscuit
  7. Break a 1/4 inch wide strip of pepperjack cheese off the prepackaged slice and lay across the chicken
  8. Sprinkle this with the assorted spices listed above
  9. Using your fingers, roll the biscuit and ingredients up (making sure to tuck pieces back in as you roll
  10. Then pull the sides up, to prevent spillage, and lay in a muffin tin pocket (this will create the shape and prevent everything from leaking out the sides into whatever other container you chose)
  11. Repeat steps 3-10 for the other 9 biscuits
  12. Once all the biscuits are in the muffin tray, sprinkle tops with the herbs again
  13. Then put a small dab of the miced garlic, making sure to include a small amount of the olive oil, on the very top of each biscuit
  14. Bake about 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown (The biscuits should actually pull away from the sides of the muffin tray)
  15. Let cool about 3-5 minutes then pop out and serve
  16. Enjoy!!!
