  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 pizza pockets

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of high protein flatbread
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce (preferably low sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the cooked chicken, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly coated and set aside.
  2. Lay the high protein flatbread on a clean surface. Cut into squares or rectangles about 4 inches wide. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each piece. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  3. Fold each flatbread piece over the filling to form a pocket. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal completely.
  4. Preheat your air fryer or oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray or brush the pockets with olive oil. Place in the air fryer basket or on a baking sheet.
  5. Cook for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and serve warm.

Notes

  • Let the pockets cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze individually and reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
  • Feel free to customize fillings with vegetables like olives, spinach, or peppers.
