Description

Delicious hot pockets filled with ground chicken and vibrant veggies, all cooked to crispy perfection in an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken Breast
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 cup Pepperoni Slices
  • 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Spinach Leaves


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  2. Mix ground chicken, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl.
  3. Fold in Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and spinach until well combined.
  4. Divide the mixture into equal portions, about the size of your palm.
  5. Flatten each portion into a round shape, similar to a small pizza.
  6. Fold each round over to form a pocket, ensuring the edges are sealed well.
  7. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray or olive oil.
  8. Arrange the pockets in the basket, leaving space between each.
  9. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Serve warm, with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

These pockets can be frozen uncooked for later meals. Adjust cooking time when cooking from frozen.
