A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, these savory pockets are filled with a creamy chicken mixture and baked to golden perfection.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden crust.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese, margarine, salt, pepper, milk, and poppy seeds. Microwave for about 30 seconds, then stir until smooth.
Microwaving helps soften the ingredients for easier mixing.
Add the cooked, cubed chicken to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Ensure the chicken is well coated for a consistent flavor.
Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions.
Dividing the mixture ensures even filling for each pocket.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four rectangles, pressing the perforations to seal.
Sealing the perforations prevents the filling from leaking out.
Place a rectangle of dough on a surface lightly sprinkled with cracker crumbs. Add one portion of the chicken mixture to the center, then fold the dough over to form a pocket, sealing the edges.
Using cracker crumbs prevents sticking and adds a crunchy texture.
Place the pockets seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a few cracker crumbs on top for added texture.
Lining the baking sheet makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pockets are golden brown.
Check the pockets halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory poppy seed chicken pockets!
